Multibooting with SuSe 7.2
 

Does anyone know if it is possible to install SuSe 7.2 next to
win98 and winXP?

Every time I try to install it, it doesn't want to install on the
chosen partition, but it installs only on the one with the highest
number or only on the entire hard disk.

A dutch magazine said that win98 must be on the first primary
partition, Linux(although they didn't say wich distr.) on a second
primairy partition (hidden) and on the last a logical partition, win2000 or winXP.
I've succeeded in making those partitions. And once I got the
second primary 'hidden' but now I've forgotten how. Later didn't succeed in making the second "hidden" with partition-magic, but yes i got 98 and winxp next to each other. But Linux didn't install.

Anyone with win98/Suse7.2/winXP please react and inform me
how you did it or if it is or is not possible. Thanks

No I don't use suse. but I can recall you have an option to specify which partition to install Linux, though the question is a bit tricky in in the installer.

You install suse, for example, on /dev/hda3 and lilo on /dev/hda3. Your boot loader should be XP in text mode. Then follow

You can try pre-formatting the partition you want SuSE to occupy as ext2.

Then when you try to install, SuSE should give the added option tof overwriting existing linux partition.
