Again about dual-booting...

Eits0 · 10-03-2002, 09:21 AM

I have succeeded in putting Mandrake on my experimental comp with very little effort, as it detected windows that was already there (first time I installed windows on that machine, just to try db...), and they both booted fine from LILO.
They were on same HD

Now I think I will place Linux on it's own HD on our giga machine.

Offcourse it found Windows on 1 hd only, but when it's on it's own, will it detect windows and add it on LILO boot menu?

Thanks

yes. Don't forget to still install your boot manager on the MBR of /dev/hda though. You might wait until you actually have a problem before posting on General - this kind of hand-holding is generally done in Newbie.
