red hat 7.2 win2k dual boot probs
I am trying to dual boot with win2k and Red Hat 7.2 but whenever I try to boot into Linux (via win2k boot loader), I just get a blinking cursor....
I have a 20 gig hd, and my my win2k partition is only about 5 gigs...following that I have (in order) a boot partition (24M), root partition (~5 G), and FAT32 partition (~9 G).
I created a dump of the linux boot sector, "bootsect.lnx" (as instructed by books and websites), copied it to the windows c:\ drive, and modified the boot.ini file. This procedure worked for me when I was using Red Hat 7.1, but for some reason, all I get now when I try it w/ 7.2 is the blinking cursor....can somebody explain to me what is going on/ how to fix this? Does it have anything to do w/ Linear Mode? b.t.w. I installed LILO (not GRUB) on the boot partition...
any help would be much appreciated....
