I have one 30GB HD (C:\). 70% of the HD is taken up by Win2k and 30% is taken up by Corel Linux Standard Ed. Win2k is the primary partition and Linux is on a logical partition on the same drive and is named F:\. I want to be able to boot into Linux! I can't figure out how to do it. With Win98, I could press <CTRL> at startup and go into a DOS prompt and type:
cd\ cdl
startcdl.bat
And Linux would load. Now, with Win2k, I can't figure out how to do that, because Linux is on a logical partition and not within a folder in Win2k.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
Jeff Miller

Did you install any boot manager like lilo, grub, boot magic etc?

If not, then you can still boot to linux with your linux boot disk (I hope you do have it :rolleyes: )

Sorry, I do not know how to get the NT boot loader to boot up your linux. But there are quite a few posts about this. Myabe you can do a search... should turn up quite a bit of stuff

HTH :)
