Dear Linux users,
I have a 17Gb harddisk. Cylinders >2000.
Trial 1:
I took care to load linux below 1023 cylinders in extended
partion/logical drives. But Dos is now not able to recognise logical
partitions after 8GB(1023 cylinders) created as fat32 in linux/fdisk.
Trial2:
Then, I created linux - native in primary partition 2. Then I created
other logical partions in dos, to access full 17 GB.
I loaded linux in primary 2 and 4(for swap). Linux was OK.
When I loaded windows now, Linux does not boot anymore. Even with floppy
, saying kernel error.
Partition table now is as follows:
1. fat32/4GB
2. linux native/ 2.9GB (cylinders 500-900 approx)
3. dos-extended (above cylinder 1023)
4. linux swap / 70MB/below 1023 cylinder
--logical 5,6,and 7 for dos.
Can anyone tell me where I should correct.
Thanks.
