WTF IS WRONG?!?!?!	by finklestein	2005-08-04 02:21:51
Welcome to Linux	by evil_andy	2005-08-04 02:29:30
Yeah I've had that experience.	by finklestein	2005-08-04 02:31:50
He. Oposite Experience here. ;-)	by aix tom	2005-08-04 03:22:28
I needet a W2K Install to get some stuff out of programs I couldn't get otherwise. Tried 5 times to install W2K on this box, no go. Did just hang at the first reboot, never got over it. Finaly installed Linux, and did an W2K install under QEMU. ;-) I think there might be some auto-repair thingie in XP that overwrites to boot sektor. (Maybe just because I'm suspicious) ;-) Maybe it could be an option not to use Grub to boot linux, but the XP boot.ini. When You install grub, install it not on the primary disc, but in the boot sector of the secondary (hence never touching the windows disc) For example, when you install grub to the root ( / ) of the second hard disc, try adding a multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\="Linux" to your boot.ini I'm not shure if it works, though. ;-)

It works if you rip the linux boot sector	by afterburner	2005-08-04 03:40:24
IIRC, that's a different boot.ini syntax, though. (n/t)	by LionsPhil	2005-08-04 03:41:49
A bit different, yes, IIRC (too :-P ) (n/t)	by afterburner	2005-08-04 04:00:39
That's about 1/2 of the solution	by peired	2005-08-04 05:04:26
