O.K. guys, I'm almost there, two more sets of questions.
1) How many MBR's per hard drive? One per hard drive or one per
partition?
2) Linux fdisk tells me that the number of cylinders on my HDD is
13328, as does the label on my HDD. BTW, the size of my hard drive is
6448MB. Furthermore, this can cause problems with:
a) software that runs at boot time (e.g, LILO)
b) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK).
This being the case, which of these options should I implement?
a) Linux partition on the first GB and windowz partition on the last
2GB
b) Linux partition in the first 512MB and windowz partition on the
2nd 512 MB [13328 cylinders / 6448MB = 2 cylinders / MB;
1024 cylinders * MB / 2 cylinders = 512 MB] then other partitions
as needed.
