Hi folks,
I have a Dell box that I want to make dual boot.
The box:
P4, 512meg RDRAM, 20 gig hard drive, Windows XP
The problem:
The problem is the cylinder 1024 problem, I think.
What I've tried:
1) I used Partition Magic to create 6gig of empty space, and I moved the
NTFS partition a bit higher so that I could create a 50 meg /boot
partition well below cylinder 1024.
2) The partitions on the drive go like this (in order)
a) Dell Utility (50 or so meg in size)
b) /boot ext3 partition (50 meg)
c) NTFS Win XP partition (12 gig)
d) Extended partition containing:
i) /swap (1024 meg)
ii) / (the rest of the hard drive which is about 6 gig)
3) Since Boot Magic won't work on NTFS, I specified GRUB in the RH
installer as my bootloader.
When I boot the computer, it goes directly into Windows, and doesn't go
into GRUB. Do I have to do something in BIOS? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob Yale
