Linux & Win2000 Help! by FearNotIAm2001-07-19 06:22:15
  Try this... by mpicklesimer 2001-07-19 07:11:13
From my understanding of these operating systems, Win2k likes to think it's the boss, so you'd have to install Linux first, then install Win2k. After Win2k is set up, you'll have to go into the boot.ini file (on your boot drive) and add a line that looks like this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\LINUX="Redhat Linux 6"
"disk(0)" refers to the master/slave relationship of your disks, change it to 1 if this is a slave drive. "partition(1)" is the second partition on the drive. If you're installing Linux on the first partition, which would make some kind of sense where you're installing it first, change this to '0'. Bear in mind, however that this is theory. I read this in O'Reilly's Linux book, I've never actually tried this due to disk space limitations. I've only got a 6GB drive in my computer so spltting it in half would kind of keep me from being able to do my work. Some day I'll find out if it works.
