Hi everyone,
Before you flame me for using Windows 2000 Pro :)
, I am a gamer and since my favourite games don't exist for linux, I have
to dualboot. I already installed Mandrake 3 times on this machine :) after
managing to thrash my linux severely when my mobo was not yet supported and I
have same funny effect each time. Windows 2000 boots ok till before the login
screen and then it stays there aparently doing nothing for almost 2 minutes...
It is annoying. After I do a repair installation of windows 2000 it works ok
again till next time I recompile the kernel and install it. Same thing happened
to me when I tried to install debian on this machine. So I am starting to
beleive it is linux/lilo related. I started letting my system permanently on
just to avoid the annoying effect, but don't think this is a good longterm
solution.
Another funny thing is that a "repair" install of
win2k doesn't remove lilo. I wanted to clean up my system at one point to move
linux to a new hdd, but lilo remained. Trying a format /mbr didn't do anything.
Does anyone know how to remove lilo and let the previous OS boot
normally?
Best regards,
Adrian
