Re: [newbie] multiple OSes problems

2001-07-04 Per discussione amadeus

Hello,

Consider a mobile rack unit. It will allow you to swap hard drives, so you can
have one
hard drive with Mandrake and another with Windows or whatever else.. It is an
option as is multiple
booting, but this allows one to use both. That way, if there is a problem with
one it
will never affect the other. It is an alternative. Windows was apparently not
designed to be as tolerant
of other partition types as is Linux. It does not play well with others as
they say.

 I have installed Mandrake 8.0 ontop of Win Me and DOS (both in sepatare

 for them. My problem is i cant boot none of the. After playing a bit with
 fdisk i've figured out
 that Win ME partitions is 0x1b. I've changed it to 0xb and wrote partition
 to disk. Win ME failed, moreover after returning back to linux, partition
 type was set again to 0x1b. The same with DOS.

 Any advice is welcomed
