I tried searching for info and found some useful stuff but not sure what if any is directly applicable to my situation.
I have a new machine with Lindows 3.0. Have had many problems and little time to deal with them as I am a grad student. Have a 2nd machine which is Win2K and am trying to install Win2K on my Lindows hard drive to make a dual boot. HD is 20 MB with plenty of space.
A. I tried looking at the disk with Norton Utilities and it does not recognize the drive at all so I cannot fdisk the drive. Same result when installed as a slave drive on Win2K machine.
B. In Lindows, I looked at Partitions in KDE Control Module. I have listed:
device = /dev/hda3
mount point = /
FS type = reiserfs
size = 18804 MB
mount options = rw
device = /dev/hda1
mount point = /boot
FS type = ext2
size = 31 MB
mount options = defaults
device = /dev/hda2
mount point = none
FS type = swap
size = empty
mount options = sw
1. Why can't I see the Lindows drive in DOS or Windows?
2. Can I partition the Lindows drive to install Win2K using FAT32?
If this can't be done easily (i.e. with little time invested), I would rather buy a new hard drive and forget Lindows. It would be a costly mistake but one that won't be repeated. I really hoped it would be user friendly and I could say goodbye to MS forever...
