Boot disk for F2/F1 installed

acidblue · 07-26-2004, 04:17 PM

I have encounted the dual boot problem with XP and F2 and found a fix in these forums.
But this wouldn't hapen if F2 could make a boot disk during installation like other distro's, you could just boot from a floppy into F2/F1.
Is there a way to do this?
i assume there are images on cd1 for doing this for people who can't boot from a cdrom for installation.

Can I make a boot disk for f2/f1 thats installed on my 2nd HD? so i don't corrupt my MBR on the xp drive

FC2 doesn't make a boot disk because it's too big to fit on a floppy.

The way around it is to burn a copy of the /boot directory onto a CD and then when you go to boot from it , change the boot sequence in the BIOS to boot from the CD first instead of the HDD.

I haven't done it , but my friend has done it and it works good , he uses a 128 Mb mini CD instead of a standard CD.
