Friend of mine is dubious about Linux and NT4 on same hard disk. I can't remember details, but I'm pretty sure it's not a problem. What's the basic line on dual-booting and living on the same hard disk? Any nasties? TIA Marcus -- Marcus Leonard mdl@netspace.net.au Linux-Mandrake 7.0 (Rel 2) Bite me, Bill!!!

(Mounting the NTFS-partition in Linux when you've done something stupid in NT..) To avoid the (small) hassle of making/maintaining the bootmanagers in LLinux/NT, I would recommend a seperate OS loader, check out the free "Extended Operating System Loader", <URL:http://www.xosl.org>. -- Frode Gill

I install NT on the first partition, but do the partition and with linux, put linux on the boot partition not on the MBR. See http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~zebee/laptop.html It's my full description of how to do it. it's based on RedHat 5.2 but if you use 6.1 in expert mode you'll get fdisk. Other distributions you are on your own, but the theory should be the same. It has a few UNSW specifics, but the basic setup will work for anyone.

Look at http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm for some good pointers. I use the NT (well, Win2k) loader to boot between Win2k, Win98, Linux and 'Boot from floppy'. John Wiltshire
