You can use lilo or grub to boot both operating systems, however, this will nuke your mbr.
I would suggest option 1 until you feel more comfortable with lilo or grub. Here is a great howto on what you'll want to do: http://www.littlewhitedog.com/reviews_other_00011.asp It's kinda old but the information is still valid for a mandrake or redhat system. All you are basically doing is copying the boot info from your linux system to a floppy, copy that onto your C: drive, and then tweaking boot.ini to see that boot info. Make sure you read through all of it and let us know if you have more questions. -- Glen Wagley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
