The machine originally had W95 on its C drive. I then added Linux (Red Hat 5.0) and installed LILO. Later I installed NT4 in another partition. To make it bootable with all the 3 systems I did the following: 1. I boot with Linux and login as root. 2. Then I copy the bootsector to a file: "dd if=/dev/hda of=/boot/linboot bs=512 count=1" 3. I change in /etc/lilo.conf "boot=/dev/hda" in "boot=/boot/linboot" 4. I run again LILO 5. I copy the file "/boot/linboot" to c:\linboot 6. I add to c:\boot.ini" the line: c:\linboot="Linux" Now I have in my NT startup menu also the possibility to choose Linux. > I am running a dual-boot WinNT5 & Linux.
