You may find it is eaiser to use 3rd party software such as partion magic to resize your drive. I have setup various dual boot systems several times with win 2k and win 98. I have found that partion magic is very simple and effective. I recommend letting LILO handle the booting as it is easy understand and configure. dAnimAL -----Original Message----- From: Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 4:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] resizing partitions Found the easiest and less hassle was to install on two HD's. One linux and one Windoze 98. With windoze already installed Mandrake installed first time. Make windows the master, the master boot record will be rewritten and your windows virus checker will spot this.
