Add Fedora to win2k boot menu

anarine · 01-11-2004, 08:46 AM

My computer dual boots Windows XP pro and windows 2000 pro.
Recently I installed Fedora linux but during the installation I choose NOT to use a bootloader. So I boot Fedora by using a floppy bootdisk.

Now I want to Add Fedora to the win2k boot menu, so that I won't need the floppy. How do I do this ?

Note : I don't want to overwrite my win2k bootloader.
I tried "bootpart" program but it didn't work.

well...isn't there a config tool for the windows' bootloader from which you could add the new distro?

this is the first time I actually hear of a person who boots linux/windows from a windows bootloader...

I've always only known people who use lilo or grub or something..

I have Fedora Core 1 and this works on all linux software. First I have linux on a second drive just in case it blows up it won't touch my Windows XP drive. Second you have to have the boot manager for linux installed but not into your MBR. Here's the link to the instructions that I use. Hope this helps as far as I'm concerned this is the only way to go because it doesn't hurt your windows drive. http://www.tprthai.net/bootmgr.htm
