need some slack help dudes ....


Hi. I have a 30 gig partitioned in two parts with windows fdisk. (25gigs on 1st part win98 / 5 gigs 2nd part Slack.

On the second partition I installed slackware like this
hda2 swap 128mb
hda3 root 5gigs or so

Now I can boot to slack and x fine (YES!!)

but I can't boot on win98
I installed Lilo to MBR and was told this could be potetially dangerous and had options to install to some "super root' partition or something.

Luckily this is a spare drive so I didnt lose anything in my win98 part since its newly formatted anyways.

Is there a way to dual boot this?
right now I can only boot to slack at Lilo and the DOS part gives me an error like 'system disk not found' or similiar, can't remember
off hand the error message.

thanks

Please do not double post. I answered this in the Distro forum.

It did belong here but Mods can move threads to appropiate places. Just let us know.

maybe you should read things before you agree to them in future...
