Hi

I have my 2 operating systems on 2 seperate extractable drives. Every time i want linux RH 7.1 or win98 I put in the appropriated drives .

lilo is not installed on the RH drive < allthough at install I seem to remember checking that option ??>
So I have to boot from a floppy

What I would like to do is put in my win drive as master and the Linux drive as slave and be able to boot from a menu

what could be my options here

modifiying the boot disk or reeinstaling RH with both drives in .

not forgeting that i am a newbie with unix .


thanks all

You can fdisk the /MBR and then run /sbin/lilo after properly configuring it to boot with either OS to install it to the Master Boot Record for your dual boot capabilities.

hi trickykid
 

Thanks
should i place the RH drive as master and the winx as slave or visa versa

I still have a windows 2000 option in my boot option with the windows drive < windows 2000 is gone thank you :-(>
even though i did a 'fdisk /mbr'

surely I could put the win drive as master the RH as slave
and then modify the RH boot disk
in the syslinux.cfg;
******************
default linux
prompt 1
display boot.msg
timeout 100
label linux
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/hda5
************************
I could change 'root=dev/hda5' to 'root=dev/hdb5'
