Trying to create a bootdisc

Plice · 08-27-2005, 11:08 AM

A Windows boot disc to be exact so that I can install XP alongside my beloved Slackware 10. Is this possible even though I've installed Linux prior to installing Windows? Is it even possible to create a Windows boot disc from Linux?

Not sure about the bootdisc in linux, but probably the easiest way to do what u want is to go ahead and install XP and if lilo doesnt work use the slack cd1 to reinstall lilo so you can boot both systems

Run setup and just choose your target partitions (dont format obviously

) then skipping eveything else go to configure and skip all cept lilo setup and saving the new fstab file.

Once lilo is installed skip everything else, exit setup and reboot

Thanks for the replys guys, but I figured out a way of doing it (ran to my neighbours house and made a boot disc

)
