Hi there Gurus...
I have a laptop I am using to dual boot Win2K Server and RH7.1. Win2K was installed first, and has the NT-loader in the MBR. RH was installed later, and I selected -install lilo in the first sector- not the MBR. This gave me a hard drive boot to NTloader for Win, and a floppy boot to RH7.1. Both OSs will come up and work fine. I have chased through some threads about using dd to extract the bootsect.lnx and move it to Windows, and modify the boot.ini, but it won't work. I have 2 definitions in RH, /dev/hda2 = boot (a <32Mb boot part) and /dev/hda6 = / . I tried to dd the bootsect from the floppy and from /, both failed. Is "loadlin" what I should use?? All the loadlin docs I read refer to older Windows, and modifying config.sys.
Can someone point me in the right direction... very newbie here folks, so don't assume I know much !!!
Thanks much !!! :)
