hey flux,
why not use an ntfs partitions for the win system, you will be able to mount
it read only noproblem in linux, and use a shared fat partition if you want
to write stuff to a place that win can see, for all the problems that win is
accused of having ntfs is definitely a more secure

Either use your boot floppy and redo lilo, or your first CD and rescue
your lilo.

Flux,
My only comment on your predicument is that I can't see why you are
downgrading to Win 98 SE? Did you have a problem with Win 2K that makes
you want to go to a less robust and older version? Win 2K can be reloaded
with a FAT32 partition instead of NTFS. As long as you own the 'better'
I haven't done this lately, but I believe that when you originally installed
W98 it asks you if you want to create a W98 boot floppy (in case you run
into problems later, etc.). If you did that, you can boot from the floppy,
then run fdisk to wipe the disk and create partitions before doing the

That's me trying to figure out why I forgot about Win2k and Fat32. I actually
intended to do just that, but
somehow the notion left my mind. Well, looks like I'm starting over once again!
Isn't this what tinkering is all
about? HA!
Thanks, Technoslick for that jog to the

I've been playing around with my dual-boot Win2k/ML9 install, when it finally got to me that I can't really interact
with the Windows partition, due to the NT file system. So, I decided to downgrade the Windows install to
to reload Win 2K from the CD 'without' invoking the automation gods
that seem to want to do it their own way?

I agree with this. I can't remember if the W2K install won't let you create
a fat32 partition. If that's the case, you can still use the W98 boot
floppy to create partitions with fdisk, then run W2K install. W2K (XP too)
is happy to install onto fat32.
