what do you mean w/ 'on the same disk' ? do you have different partitions ? or did you install win98 and linux and exactly the same partition ?

April 2002 14:38 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: [newbie] Dual boot problems I recently got Mandrake 8.1 standard edition, having read it was good for those with absolutely no idea about linux, like me. I installed it alongside my usual Windows 98 on the same hard disk, and although the bootloader menu shows Windows I can't boot into it; the screen reads "Loading Windows" and just hangs. I tried booting from a floppy to get into DOS but the same thing happened. I made a boot floppy from within linux and it booted from that OK, but it just gave me a boot: prompt which I didn't know how to use. I have a partitioning program but that boots from a floppy, which I can't do. What's going on? Help!
