I am running Windows and Linux both with 3 hard drives, one is a 20gig. It
took me a bit to figure out how to get it to work properly. What I ended up
doing was to use fdisk to partition the hard drives before installing
anything. Then with smaller partitions, I first installed Windows. Then
after Windows was installed, I then installed Linux. I put Lilo in the MBR
and it works quite well. I have also used Lilo on a boot disk, it works ok -
just make sure to have a couple of backups.
