Hi
My previous letter was not so clear, sorry about that.
Anyway I have an old pentium 200, and i have a 10 gig
hard drive but the bios can only see 8 gig. I have
windows 95c on it. I then installed LM 8, suprisingly
it could see the other 2 gig so i installed it to
there. Unfortunately I couldnt boot because when it
was just about to load the OS or lilo or something it
just printed a couple of asc ii chars and then hangs.
Then I tried an expert install. during it I said that
it must change the boot sector or something, it gave
me some warnings but I couldnt start my pc anyway,
into win 95 or linux, so I said ok. That did not help.
I then partitioned the disk 6,2,2. I installed LM8
again but to the second 2 gig partition. This worked
and I can run LM8 with no problem unfortunatly I can
no longer boot to a floppy which is a 98 boot disk. It
seems to just read the disk for a few seconds and then
hang. I disabled my hd in the bios and the disk worked
fine but when i enabled it again the booting was
messed again. So I had to reinstall LM8. Is there any
way to install windows onto that first 6 gig I have
without formatting everything because I still have
quite a bit of info on it which I would like to keep.
This is a bit lengthy but I hope that it explaines my
situation?
Thanks for any help.
Joe
