Unhappy Triple Booting!!! Win XP, Win2000, Mandrake Linux 8.1


Hi,

I have my PC set up dual booting Mandrake Linux 8.1/Win2000 Pro. I decided to add WinXP Pro in the hope of being able to chose between the 3. However, I can now only choose WinXP or 2000 at the boot up chooser thingy and linux is nowhere to be seen. I have edited the boot.ini (i think) file to try and add in a 3rd line, but don't know what this line should be. Could someone please help???

Many thanks

You should install lilo on Linux partition (/etc/lilo.conf edition, then lilo).
Then get it to a file
dd if=/dev/hdx of=linuxboot.lnx bs=1 count=512
Now get the file linuxboot.lnx to Windows partition (where you've got boot.ini) and insert to boot.ini
c:\linuxboot.lnx="Linux"
The whole procedure is described in detail in Linux+NT-Loader-HOWTO (in your Linux or at www.linuxdoc.org).
