Is the 100g drive empty? If so, physically disconnect the 40g and make the 100g the primary (i.e. 'C' drive) and install Win on it, then reconnect everything back where Linux will boot and adjust your lilo.conf so you can select Windows or Linux. Not sure if it will work, it seems everything I read requires Windows to be loaded first. HTH smbinyon
-----Original Message----- From: James Pifer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 5:19 PM To: redhat Subject: Partition Magic I have a RH72 system where the OS is installed on a 40gig drive and there's a second 100gig drive setup as disk2.I would like to install Windows 2000 on a partition to use for games. I created a partition on the end of the 100gig drive to use for win2k, but I couldn't install it because Windoze needs to be able to write to the first partition. I then figured I would create room at the beginning of the drive, but Partition Magic 7 will not let me resize the Linux ext2 partitions. It will let me resize/move the one on the 100gig drive, but not the one the OS is on. I figured I would have to reinstall grub, maybe even do a system upgrade to make it work again after installing windoze, but I can't even get that far. Is there any way for me to get Windoze installed without completely wiping out the system and starting over? I would really hate to do that. I have a ton of stuff on this system already. It was a pain to get X to work on this system because of the video chipset and motherboard. I guess my other option is to do a huge copy of everything to a spot on the 100 gig drive, repatition and install Windoze, then install Linux, mounting the 100 gig drive again as disk2(obviously without formatting), then try to recover all of my stuff again. Any reason this wouldn't work? Any other suggestions?
