Linux & Win2000 Help! by FearNotIAm2001-07-19 06:22:15
  Re: Linux & Win2000 Help! by jcwang 2001-07-19 07:53:13
Here is what I recommend. It has worked for me in the past. Install Win2K first. When that is done, install Redhat 6.2. NOTE: Be sure to make a Redhat boot disk at the end of the Redhat installation (it will prompt you). The default LILO may not work with your hard drive (since it is greater than 1024 cylinders). Now, boot your computer from the boot disk. Goto ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo/ and get the latest LILO source. Follow the instructions included to build and install it. Now, edit the /etc/lilo.conf file and do the following. Add the "lba32" parameter somewhere near the top. Since RH6.2 does not detect the w2k install, you will have to add that manually to the lilo.conf file. The entry might look something like:
  other=/dev/hda1
    label=win2k
    table=/dev/hda
Now, run /sbin/lilo, and that should do it. Hope this helps...
