The system:
P3 800Mhz
1GB RAM
SCSI hard drives
Adapatec 2930U2 scsi card
My plan:
sda1:
100MB FAT32 DOS or even FreeDOS
sda2:
rest of the disk space for XP
sdb1:
Linux - whole disk
I had a few free hours yesterday so I took an old XP VPC I had that had free
disk space at the end of the drive and experimented. I booted the VPC from a
DOS floppy, used fdisk to create a primary partition from some of the free disk
space. I then formatted it, sys'd it, and installed grub. It worked great.
With those results I went and did it in real life and it works great. Windows
and Linux can read/write to the dos partition. Thanks to everyone for your
comments.
sda1: Windows XP ntfs
sda2: DOS - fat32
sdb1: Linux - ext3
My grub.conf (installed on sda2):
color light-gray/blue black/light-gray
# End GRUB global section
title DOS
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
title Win XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Thanks,
How did you install FreeDOS and Windows? Did you use hide and unhide
commands?
What does happen if you delete Windows XP partition contents (not the
partition itself? Does DOS still boots?
