Dual boot....two hard drives (XP & Fedora Core 3)

[Caleb]

...back on topic, I think I remember Linux having issues dual-booting with windows if windows is loaded first. I know there is a work aorund but can't remember how I did it way back when. One thing you could do Brett is back-up all your stuff and load linux first then load windows. Or search google, I bet you'll find the work-around.

(like I said my dual booting experience is limited) I thought you were supposed to do windows first because it blows away the current MBR and loads what it wants when it is loaded. (killing grub or lilo)

I am trying to just learn from it. I play on the computer enough that I figure I can at least try to pick up another OS.

How about this question geeks?

NTLDR is a biatch and a pain in the ass to werk with.


This thread should get you going in the right direction todo a linux / WinNT(2k / XP) dualboot.

Just make sure you have a good WORKING back-up and you wont have anything to worry about

When did you work out there? I worked for Rick for almost a year.

As for Brett's question I've never messed with dual booting with 2 drives. Usually I just have both on the same drive then have different mount points out to the additional drives.

I quit a cpl month's before the Founder CEO was ousted from the company by his Mentor/College Professor Mr. B. Daines and the acting CEO was named (Mr. S. Hill)(use to drive a nice green A6 all the time).

In short just over 4 years ago. I still talk to a lot of the people that work their including Rick (all though Rick's last name slips me at this time, he has lost a lot of weight).
