I used sda3 because when I run cfdisk after Ext3 and the swap I create a third partition, type NTFS volume Set and now I have:
name flags Part Type FS Type
------------------------------------------
sda1 boot Prymary Linux Ext3
sda2 Prymary Linux Swap
sda3 boot prymary NTFS Volume Set
I saw a lot of posts about this and that's what i did, but may be not enough, Could you help me?
when i turn the PC on the lilo start menu there is only one lable "linux/Slackware"
Thank`s to all
#I forget if this is exactly correct, but if you notice, LILO is telling you that it wrote the Linux boot info, but then tried to write the windows info to the 3rd partition. Reading the LILO manual will help. It isn't that big.
It would be easier for you to install the M$ product first then install your Slackware. That way the Slackware install will pick up the M$ product and you won't have to fuss with the M$ product wanting to install over everything. Your lilo would then be produced with the proper configuration.
The 'lba32' is not a major problem. The OP will have to jump through hoops to get a install of WinXP second. So why not perform the XP install first then install your Slackware? A whole lot easier.
