Hi all,
I am trying to dual boot XP and Linux on a single
250 GB drive. I am using the procedure as
written by aashiks "How to Dual boot with XP/2000/NT
and install linux/windows" which is essentually
identical to the procedure in "Linux in a Nutshell".
Part of the procedure requires me to edit the file
boot.ini on the C: drive. However there is no boot.ini
anywhere that I can find. Is this because I formatted
the drive to fat32 rather than NTFS? Or is there
something else I am doing wrong?
While running the Linux installation you can mount the FAT32
partition, and use a reliable editor to edit boot.ini. Besides that,
Windows hidden files are not hidden to Linux.
But it is probably easier to let the Linux booter (GRUB) boot Windows.
In fact the usual Linux installer will set that up for you.
