I've got Windows 98 running on an 840 meg drive (c:) and drive d: as one big 6 gig drive to be divided up shortly. I had a problem trying to load linux at the beginning of the d: drive and gave up for now needing the computer for other things. I am about ready to try installing Linux again.2. In the event something goes wrong, can I just remove what I've done and have
- 1. Has anyone gotten Linux and Win98 working on the same machine?
Win98 still intact?3. Will the earth explode at 12:00:01 jan 1st 2000?
What happened to me was this;
I was running OS/2 and doing ok. I decided to try Linux seeing as OS/2 is pretty much dropping any kind of appreation for home users and I don't like Gates. For my classes at college I decided I needed Windows (seeing as everything they use is windows based so far). I decided to put windows on c:, already had OS/2 on E:, and was going to put Linux on D: (boot) & F; with G: being an all around fat drive, using the boot manager that came with OS/2. (C: and D: being on the 840 meg drive, E: F: and G: being on the 6gig. Couldn't get it to work, and like I said, I needed the computer.
On installation of Windows98 It saw I had a boot manager and gave me 2 choises, erase the boot manager or stop installation. I decided I had to do it and erased the boot manager and dumped my OS/2.
I'd still like to get both windows and Linux running on the same machine.
