RE: [newbie] Install 8.1 and XP in a dual boot
Install Xpee first, then MDK 8.2. After that you can reinstall Xpee (as you usually have to) as many times as you like. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 April 2002 16:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Install 8.1 and XP in a dual boot HI This is what I want to do and am having trouble getting this to work I have 2 hard drives in the computer, both are blank.

RE: [newbie] Install 8.1 and XP in a dual boot
OK I installed this damn MS OS on my 1st hard drive. and I installed Mandrake on the 2nd hard drive. I put the /boot filesystem on /dev/hda1 and Windoz is on /dev/hda2 The 2nd hard drive is all various Linux file systems. here is my problem. I would like to have LILO as the defualt boot loader. I have installed it but the only way to get to it is to edit the boot.ini file for windoz so that I can boot to linux and then I get the LILO boot menu. I want to do away with the windows boot loader but I can't figure out how to do this. the /boot partition is the first one on the first hard drive. my Lilo.conf is setup properly to boot from /dev/hda1 Can someone tell me how to do this???

I am attempting to install Linux first then to do Win XP take microsofts advice, _always_ install the more advanced system last. linux is _always_ installed after MSAnything. You need to install Windows first if you want to use Lilo or Grub because it overwrites the MBR to only load Windows. If you want to use a boot disk for Linux, it doesn't matter the order in which you install them.
