Hi all,

What Special procedures do I need to take when installing win 2k to a system
with lillo boot manager

c: appears to only hold the NT loader programs no visible Os installed on
this partition
win NT 4 sp6 on e:
d: has been formatted with the linux filing system

Thanks

I had the Lilo on the MBR and when I installed W2K it detected the LILO and left it alone and went ahead and installed the NT loader, so I still have my LILO loader with me.

Just go ahead and Install, W2K takes care of the rest

  1. generate a boot diskette in Linux
  2. install LILO on the partition only, not to the MBR
  3. install NT
  4. boot Linux from the diskette
  5. copy the Linux’s bootsector to the file by “dd” command
  6. copy this file to some NT’s partition
  7. Add
    c:<linux boot sector file name>= “Linux”
    to the BOOT.INI file.

    Then NTLDR will fire first, you will be able to load NT without any LILO,
    and you will also be able to select “Linux” from the NT’s boot menu. This
    will start LILO and then Linux.
