Trust me: I almost got a PhD in installing Windows and Mandrake this
week :-)
1.- *First of all*, install Windows 2000/XP.
2.- Create a FAT32 partition to hold data that you want to read/write
with Windows and Mandrake.
3.- Install Mandrake.
It is this easy.
You will get a dual boot system.

Merlin; Having done exactly what you want to do hundreds of times for clients, I can
give you this advice.
First, Set up an 8 or 10 Gb partition for Win2K. Even at 8 Gb's you're using a lot!
Unless you plan on
installing every single application known to man, 8 Gigs is plenty! Use the same

It's your choice, either remove lilo with the dos switch in which case
your left with
w2k's own boot loader or leave lilo in place (it sits in the mbr) either
way when

Norman,
You don't need to edit boot.ini LILO will boot XP for you. Did you
install XP first or second? If Linux went in last, your boot loader
install should have given you a lilo entry for both XP and Linux. If
this isn't the case (sounds like it), then you can either add whatever

I too am a System Commander fan, (have been for years) and tried to use it

Boot Config then press the "Configure" button and set the "delay before
booting default image"

encountered several different things. I've also installed different
distros, but I'll try and stick with the Mandrake info here.
First of all let's start with the har
Hey guys,
I've had a bunch of people ask me if anyone solved this problem, since they
