[wellylug] April Meeting

[Mark Henson]

Hi Colin,

I have a method that works reasonably well for dual booting NT and Linux.

essentially I leave the master boot record of the drive untouched and install
lilo on to the linux partition instead. this is easily done during the linux
install process. (or can be done post install if nt has been installed after
linux). then I set the linux partition as the active partition for boot using
fdisk (linux or dos)

now I add an extra entry into lilo for NT and this works reliably for nt4 or w2k

the reason I don't put lilo into the master boot is because I have found that
nt4 can crash on boot when the master boot record has the boot loader changed.
this way when nt boots it can't tell that it has other 'competing' operating
systems on the disk!!

cheers
Mark
