Dual Boot Question
I tried Mandrake & Red Hat 9. Both of them deleted my windows MBR. So i couldnt boot to widows. I dl'ed Knoppix b4 i tired RH and i liked it. So after Red Hat didnt work i did the install trick for knoppix. i got it runnin on my comp and it works fine.
my question is...can i use the LILO bootloader with a dual boot setup. i got winxp home... |
Yes, but you need to be careful. Windows reinstallation usually overwrites it.
|
could u help me set it up?
i went into lili.conf file and im totally lost :confused: please help |
Which is easier for a :newbie:
GRUB or LILO? |
Probably LILO. It's configuration file is easier to read (but it's a matter of personal taste).
What you need to add to /etc/lilo.conf: Code:
other=/dev/hda1 |
i did it the way i was...this guide and it tells u hot to setup the bootloader...
one problem...i used my linux boot up floppy and i guess i messed up cuz when i select "knoppix" in the bootloader, it says "L" and jsut sits there...i dont know if its waiting to boot cuz a DMA timout comes up when i use the boot floppy...it also happened when i had mandrake. if you know where i can get a boot floppy or if u could send the file on messenger i would appriciate it. |
