I installed windows 98, then redhat linux 6.2, then windows 2000 and had no
problems.
I think if you install linux after installing windows, it should be ok as
well.

yes, i had done the same thing before too, you must first install win9x,
then windows 2000, and then linux...  even though i use winlinux now, which
runs on my win9x partition :)

I don't understand why you have to "first install windows98, then windows
2000..." Can you just install windows 2000 directly then Linux after that?

Win9x will overwrite the boot sector of the HDD, and in effect will wipe out
whatever boot loader (i.e. LILO) you're running so that you can only boot
into Win9x.  I'm not savvy on WinNT or 2k, but I can only assume that they
do not exert the same behavior.

 If you make a boot floppy, you don't need to worry about using lilo or
another boot loader. Its a little slower on boot up, but its safer IMO.

 BTW: Anyone install mandrake 7.1 and choose not to install a boot loader?

Create the partition you want to put your Windows on, copy the cab files onto
it, install it from the hard disk, then boot your Linux CD (if that's where
you're installing from) and create the other half with your Linux side of it.

If you don't create the Windows partition first and install it from the hdd,
the CD bootup type install of Windows will try to claim your whole hard disk
drive.

If you have two hard disks, it's easier to install, but both operating
systems can be put on the one hard disk if you wish.

Just follow the above steps.

Christian
