Does anyone know how to do a dule boot? I have win 98 on my c:\ drive, and I want to put Win 2k on my D:\ drive, and when I start my computer I want to be able to tell it what opperating system to start. Does anyone know how to do that, or what proagrams I need (hopefuly made my microsoft) to do something like this.
Thats not a problem, i have that working now. :)
Install 98 first, onto the C drive. Then install 2k on the D drive. 2k will automatically install a litlle program into the MBR that will allow you to chose betweeen the two operating systems.
I would like to know about Tri-Boot systems though. I have Linux, 98, and 2k installed. Linux installs a LiLo booter, that boots Linux as the default operating system. I have tried changing the LiLo.conf file to boot to Windows as the default, but could not get it to work. Anyone know how i can do this ?
Thank you so much for the reply, I was afraid I was going to have to get rid of FAT32 and crap to get a dual boot. Thank you so much.
That's easy Lain17. In lilo.conf, just set the default property to what you normally type in LILO. (I'm a happy Linux user.)

oetje,
I am afraid it is not as easy as that. I have tried that, and it failed.
But i got help from someone else. I had to go to the console and run linuxconfig. This has options to edit the LiLo booter. It is all working bloody marvelously now :)
Well except for my f*/'#(* modem that is :mad:
I use a program called GLilo to edit the lilo.conf file.
