I would google for how to reset the bios on your particular notebook.

It'll solve the problem easier.

The windows bootmanager reads a file in C:\ ... something like boot but I
forgot the name.
This is something like /boot/grub/menu.lst .

Google for the syntax. you can set it up to boot from different partition or
image youcopy somewhere

.bkf files from Windows 2000/XP, and how to read them in Debian

2003-02-25 Thread Mike Dresser
Supposing I had a .bkf file from a Win2000/XP backup, and wanted to be
able to extract files from it in Linux, how would I go about this?

Just looking at the file, it looks similar to a tar file, but of course
it's not.

Supposedly it's Veritas Backup Exec that is bundled with W2k.

I use smbtar to backup win9x machines over the network, and am able to
restore them properly just from the tarball and a copy of fdisk/format,
but w2k images won't work that way, so I'm looking at reversing it to W2k
putting the image on the server instead.

Had to use the smbtar method, because the task scheduler in Win9x depends
on the phase of the moon far too much for my liking.

Mike

samba + windows 2000, windows XP

2003-02-02 Thread Matic Koncan
Title: Message



Hello.
 
I am using Debian 
3.0 (woody), stable with samba 2.2.3a-12 - Debian.
 
I have a problem 
with setting PDC with my samba server for Windows 2000 or XP. I have used the 
same configuration (smb.conf, smbpasswd, passwd, shadow) as in other Slackware 
server I had (running Samba 2.2.4.), but now PDC does not work. For Windows 
9x PDC works fine. I have read that PDC for 2000 or XP is supported in samba 
2.2.2. already.
 
Any 
suggestion?

I am NOT a 'guru" on this subject, but I do have it working here.  In 
addition to what Antoine sent, I found that having a "generic" 
postscript printer driver on the Windows machine(s) made it work for me. 
 I tried all sorts of config on the Windows side, and the Postscript 
driver was the key to get it going.  I would verify the following steps:

1.  Make sure CUPS is set up to work over the network, i.e. hook another 
Linux computer up and fiddle with the config until you can print from a 
remote CUPS client.  The default CUPS install is not set up for network 
printing. Dunno if this is absolutely necessary, but it is one of the 
things I did & had working before I messed with Samba.

2.  Make the smb.conf changes Antoine suggested above.  This is 
essentially the same as mine, except I added a line "printcap name = 
/etc/printcap.cups".

3.  I have the cupsys-bsd package installed here

4.  Install a postscript driver on the Windows machine.  You can get a 
"generic" driver (what I used) from Adobe at: > 
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html

under "Printer Drivers".  You might be able to just install an existing 
Postscript Driver for your printer from the Windows disk.

I am not sure Windows NT/2k/XP cares about the MBR, the 'real' bootloader 
they use is supposed to be at the beginning of the partition they're 
installed to. I used Grub (Best Bootloader Forever) on many different systems 
all booting multiple OS's. I always set it up in the MBR (duh) and edit my 
menu.lst in /boot/grub accordingly to the disks/partition/OS's I have. Then 
stage1 (in the MBR) looks for its beloved stage2  (sometimes stage1.5) and 
boots whatever is in menu.lst. If you pick Windows to start with, Grub just 
gives control to the Windows bootloader.  The thing is You'd better install 
all Win systems before installing Linux so that all Windows systems share one 
windows bootloader containing only Windows entries, and then put only one 
entry in Grub to give you access to the Windows bootloader. At least that's 
how I do it, do not hesitate to ask if I am not clear.

Dunno about 95/ME. I dual-boot DOS6.22 and Win98SE by having 2 primary
DOS partitions and swapping the bootable flag in the partition table;
LOADLIN.EXE gets me from either of these to Linux. The code I inserted
into my MBR examined the bootable flags and did nothing if 98 was
booting. Nevertheless, 98 objected to its being there and responded by
running my IDE drives in "MS-DOS compatibility mode". So it looked
fine on the surface, but ran slow(er). Maybe there's some way of
fooling Windoze on this issue and lilo/grub are smart enough to know
about it?

Re: Booting Linux from windows 2000

2002-11-09 Thread Vector
I don't know if you've found a suitable answer for this yet or not, but I
have done what you ask about in the subject line.  You use dd to make a copy
of the boot sector for the linux partition, you drop in the root directory
of the C: drive and then edit boot.ini to include that file.  Then it works
just fine.  The only pain about this setup is that anytime you change your
linux boot sector (at least with lilo) you have to use dd again to create
your boot sector file again and then copy that into the root on the c: drive
again so that the changes are reflected.  If you would like an example of
the boot.ini entry you would need, let me know I might be able to dig one up
on one my systems.

Not true.  Win2k boots fine from grub, which is installed in the MBR

No, Windows 95/98/ME all do just fine without the MBR. You can have lilo
or grub steal it and windows wont even figure it out.  Now Windows
NT/2000/XP all need the MBR and wont boot without it.  Under these you

For people who may be afraid of boot menus, maybe you could have the
PC set up just to boot 2k, and make up a DOS boot floppy with
LOADLIN.EXE on it run from AUTOEXEC.BAT; remove the write-protect tab
and stick a big picture of Tux on it. Then you can tell people "put
the penguin in to use Linux, take it out for Windoze." I guess you
could make a grub floppy to do the same.

It is true that Windoze doesn't like changes to the MBR. To hack the
Win98 MBR I had to include code to put the original MBR back after the
hack had done its work, then make Windoze reinstall the hacked version
after it had done its check. That relied on having DOS available
underneath and probably would be much harder in 2k. It's not something
I would really recommend!

loadlin and syslinux both work from DOS, and won't work on 
Windows 2000 (Windows NT/2000/XP are not DOS-based).

Lilo can be set up to boot Windows 2000 by default, just be sure to
install Linux *after* you install Windows.  Grub can also be set up to
boot Windows 2000 for you.  Either can be set up so that they look
innocuous to a person who might be afraid of a boot menu.

Alternately, if you are not permitted to touch the MBR, you can make a
very flexible boot floppy with grub.  After installing the Debian grub
package, you can make a grub boot floppy as simply as "grub-floppy
/dev/fd0".

Sure it does. I have installed Windows 2000 Server alongside on my
Debian Box and it works without any problems using LILO.

Could be that it is working because I use install-mbr on the mbr and
have placed the LILO boot stuff into the boot partition of Linux.

I've heard that win2k won't stand for LILO replacing its own MBR.  The 
alternatives I know of are:

1) Put a boot floppy in when you want to boot Linux
2) Use XOSL http://www.xosl.org - a GPL universal bootloader that's

Surely Ghost can clone an entire hard drive, MBR and all?  Even cat

Booting Linux from windows 2000

2002-11-06 Thread Bruno BEAUFILS

I know that this question is not specially relevant to debian, but I do not
know where to ask it anywhere else :-(

I want to boot a bunch of dual-boot stations which are running under Windows
2000 to Linux. I tried loadlin but it does not work because of protected
mode.

I can modify lilo boot loader since those stations are oftenly cloned by Ghost
and that default boot options must stay Windows.

Anybody with an idea ?

If Win2k has Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), then yes it is possible.

You might consider reading the help information on your brothers win2k
machine about ICS, but here's a brief explanation of how to do it:

Make sure your brother has ICS installed and running
(in Win98, you do:

Settings->Control Panel->Network->Ethernet Card

Bind the ethernet card to TCP/IP (home) to Internet Connection
Sharing.

This should cause the windows machine to impliment it's dhcp server,
so provided you have a dhcp client on your machine (such as pump,
dhcpcd, or dchp-client), your networking should be configured
automally.

Further, to do it on boot:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
iface lo inet loopback

# Ethernet0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

but if you want a static ip on your machine in your home then find out
what your brother's ethernet card's ip address is
(e.g. 192.168.1.1). Turn on ICS (also see Settings->Control
Panel->Internet Options->Connections [Tabular]->Sharing [Button]),
then set your ip address to something within the 192.168.1.X network,
e.g.

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
(or something like that)
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

and fix your /etc/resolv.conf
cat > /etc/resolv.conv
nameserver 192.168.1.1

Elizabeth

How to get networking working for windows 2000 within vmware??

2002-01-09 Thread Walter Tautz
 I am unclear what settings within windows 2000 i should be inputting.

 I had a look at the smb.conf file vmware manages and it has entries like:

lsof -i:

 vmware-nm 1486   root7u  IPv4   1710   UDP 172.16.61.1:netbios-ns
 vmware-nm 1486   root8u  IPv4   1715   UDP 172.16.61.1:netbios-dgm
 vmware-sm 1488   root5u  IPv4   1722   TCP 172.16.61.1:netbios-ssn
 (LISTEN)

 Is this suppose the IP I put in during the windows networking option
 under LAN?


 I include the smb.conf file from vmware:

It looks like I have to enable the  hosts allow line? Since
it seems to be commented out?

Which boot loader are you using?  

If you use lilo , make sure your /etc/lilo.conf file is correct (or
else you will end up with an unbootable system) and run  'lilo'  (you
might need some CL options, try man lilo to find out).


If you use grub, just enter the command mode of it (during bootup) and
type  setup (hd0)  to put grub on the MBR of hd0.

If you mess up with grub, you can just enter command mode and try
again :-).  (You can even boot by entering the commands manually).
Then set /boot/grub/menu.lst to the proper configuration.

Some other notes re grub :

o make sure stage2 and menu.lst are in the same directory
o make sure they are on the hard drive, and you specified the hard
  drive in the 'setup' command  (the first time I put it on MBR
  was from booting with a floppy -- I specified to get the other
  stuff from the floppy and as a result the MBR needed the floppy
  for booting.  I then (haveing already put stage2 and menu.lst on
  the harddrive) specified the hd to install from and it was fine)
o you can put stage2 and menu.lst on any partition -- all
  partitions are labeled '/' by grub because it doesn't know how any
  os's mount the partitions.  (/boot/grub can be on your windows
  partition if you want it to be)  The main restriction here is
  the filesystem must be of a supported type (ext2 vfat minix and
  others -- see grub documentation for more details)

coexistence with Windows 2000

2001-04-06 Thread Darryl Röthering
Apologies in advance. Through delete-itis, I inadvertently lost the good 
advice I receive for my Debian coexistence with windows.


I got everything set up ok & I can now boot Linux by using a boot floppy. My 
default MBR is still Windows 2000, so without the boot floppy in I get 
Windoze.


But I want to get the bootsector from linux to copy into Windoze.

Now, as I sit here looking at the /boot I see two possibilities:

boot.b
boot.0301

Which is the one I want to capture & is the syntax just:

dd boot.b > floppy

Actually, I got Windows 2000 and Lilo working together without problems,
much to my surprise.  I had win2k installed first and then added Debian
afterwards.  My install went like this:

1. Windows 2000 installed on /dev/hda
2. Installed Debian on a free partition.
3. Set up Lilo to allow boot from Debian or chain boot from /dev/hda. Told
Lilo to install itself on the master boot record.  If you are running Woody,
you can select your windows 2000 partition to be booted from as another OS.

Here's my lilo.conf:
-
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda6# This is my linux root partition
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
menu-title="Lapdog"
prompt
timeout=50
vga=EXT
compact
lba32
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2# This is my default boot: Linux
label=2.4.2
other=/dev/hda1# This is my Windows 2000 partition
label="Windows 2000"
table=/dev/hda
-

So now I can select in Lilo where I want to go, or not, today...

Have fun,
Chris




Re: coexistence with Windows 2000

2001-03-22 Thread Peter Good
Just to throw a spanner clean into the works on this issue, I have
Windows 2000 pro and linux dual booting here on my machine. I had debian
set up, did the 2000 install, and it never even touched the bootloader.
Even to the point of when the install was finished, I even had lilo
still intact and functioning. Don't ask me why, and a lot of people seem
to have problems dual booting these 2, but, for me, it was a very basic
process, as I didn't even need a boot disk to get lilo back.

There is no particular order for installing any windows / linux config. BUT
... (taratatata)
If you install Linux first and have installed LILO into the MBR (i believe
any) windows installation later on will simply clear the MBR so you'll be
unable to boot into Linux but you system will default boot into Windows. 

---> Keep a Boot diskette handy (AND working) at all time to resolve this :
remove LiLo and reinstall LiLo

With windows 2000 (NT is friendlier) things get more complicated since these
versions use their own bootloader and it's a pest. I had to install windows
2000 and configure a third-party bootmanager to be able to still boot into
Linux (powerquest to the rescue). Lilo and the win2k bootloader decided to
bit each others tails and there was no easy way to solve this (i mean a 30
second solution). I KNOW there are ways to multi-boot win2k and linux easily
but it's a mess to set this up since win2k is a bootloader fascist by nature
and yes this evolution (hint win98 was quite 'natural'). I guess that if you
use the win2k bootloader to boot the linux /boot or / partition (depends on
your setup) you'll be happy ever after but i'm not very confident it will be
an easy thing to do.

To put it mildly, if you don't need win2k don't use it, it's rather
*cough,cough* good and _seemed_ well built but it's not needed if just in
need for some windows specific gizmo's like games and or :-( a canon d660u

I'm running Debian (Potato) and Windoze2000 on one machine. Here are my
experiences:
First of all, they coexist peacefully! :-)

1) Install Debian

2) Edit lilo.conf:

(--> attachment: my lilo.conf)

3) Don't forget to run lilo!

4) Install Windows 2000 (first make sure to apply the right boot sequence in
your bios setup [e.g. "CDROM, A, C" when installing Windows from a CD])

5) Reboot: You should now see an option menu like:
Boot: 1) Linux
2) Windows
6) Have fun running two OSs on your machine.

Cheers
Dieter

PS: Since I assume that you are already running Win2000, I have to confess
that I don't know how to alter this installation sequence. I _had_to_
install Debian first.

Quick guide:
-create some unpartioned space on your disk to install linux to
-use bootfloppies and install linux
-write /etc/lilo.conf  (I've attached mine)
-run lilo
-be happy

You need an entry with other=[partition] and table=[drive].

coexistence with Windows 2000

2001-03-14 Thread Darryl Röthering

Dear all:

As much as I would like to just wipe out Windows, I have to have it for some 
support purposes (work). However, I would like to repartition and get Debian 
up.


I have been reading and re-reading "tfm," but wonder if anyone has any 
experience on this.


I put up slink with just the floppies on an old throwaway system a year ago, 
but I don't see how I can use lilo to switch between Windows and debian. I 
can use the lilo.conf file to point to other kernels, but what entries do I 
put there to boot up a Windows session?


Could someone with experience explain how this is done? I need a little more 
comfort level on this before I get started.


TIA.

I have a direct/public IP address, no masquerading.  I am going through
every possible configuration screen, including their deranged version of
security, trying to shut down as much as possible (scary huh), but once I
find what is preventing my connection I will go back and turn things back on
one at a time.

Do you use masquerading or does your internal network have offical IPs?
I think w2k does some filtering check the configuration.

Windows 2000 and Telnet

2000-10-27 Thread Brooks R. Robinson
Greetings,
I use mostly Microsoft products at work (I can't help it, they make me),
and I recently went to Windows 2000.  Fortunately, instead having to go
through an MS proxy server, I negotiated a direct connection to the
internet.  So, I have a system with dual NIC's (one to the internal network,
and one to the internet via DSL) running Windows 2000.
Most everything is okay except my connection to the internet seems to 
have
problems.  I can browse without problems, my e-mail works just fine, and I
can ping to my heart's content.
I cannot, however, FTP or telnet out!  I do have a few linux boxen that 
I
take care of, not being able to connect is a severe problem.  Anyone have
similar problems?  Anyone with a resolution?  I don't have a choice to go
"down" in version, so I am thoroughly stuck.  Help, help, help!

Thanks,

Brooks



Re: Windows 2000 boot loader

Has anyone succesfully replaced the Windows 2000 boot loader with LILO ?

I have a Win2000/DOS boot machine, but I'm afraid to attempt installing LILO
on hda in case Win2000 needs to be there. It's my work computer and if I
stuff it up I'll be in big trouble.

Yes.  It works.

My partition layout is:

hdb5Logical   Linux swap 131.61
hdb6Logical   Linux ext2 131.61
hdb7Logical   Linux 5996.23

Win2000 has:
/dev/hda3 on c:
/dev/hdb3 on d: or e: (I don't remember which)

Debian has:
/dev/hda7 on /
/dev/hda2 on /boot
/dev/hdb6 on /tmp

The pertinent part of my /etc/lilo.conf follows my signature.

I've also done the reverse, although with NT, not Win2000.  That is, I used
the NT boot loader.  That works, too.

RE: Windows 2000 boot loader

2000-10-15 Thread Jason Holland
i wouldn't replace it, but simply add linux to the menu so each os can
safely coexist.  here is a little utility that will do that for you,
provided you install LILO at the beginning of your root partition, and NOT
the mbr.

A guy at the office successfully (?) loaded Win2K with WMWare on his
Linux box and things generally work in that.  No info for WINE for you,
sorry.

The installation was painfully slow and so is running the OS in a
window, but if you badly need some particular software, it might be an
option.
