Dual Booting

Detroit · 08-25-2003, 12:46 PM

I am running a laptop with windows server 03'. I have partitioned my drive and installed red hat 9. I would like to dual boot. I don't know how to do it. Any advice?

Try adding this entry to grub.conf:
title windows server 03
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

You may need to change the rootnoverify line to match your partition layout.

First install your windows,delete one partition for your linux.
After you install RH, I think grub can dualbooting your system automaticly.

I have installed Lilo. I can boot to both separately(redhat, using the foppy). But, I don't always have my floppy drive with me. I have tried to copy the bootsect.lnx file to a floppy and puting it on my c: drive, and editing my boot.ini. All I get when I do this is a blinking cursor(when choosing linux in my os choice screen).

I windows server 03' on my laptop because I am traveling a lot and I am learning server 03' while on the road.
