A little offtopic, sorry, but I'm quite desperate -- I need my machine to play Battle Realms ASAP :D
Is it possible to boot Windows 2000 from an extended partition? I already have a working Linux system, and am trying to install Win2k. I have the ff. partitions (all made through the linux fdisk): /dev/hda1 fat32 * /dev/hda2 ext2 * /dev/hda3 linux swap /dev/hda4 extended /dev/hda5 linux /dev/hda6 ntfs * /dev/hda7 linux /dev/hda8 linux (* - active partitions) The Win2k CD put the boot files (ntldr, boot.ini, etc.) on hda1, while the main contents (/WINNT dir) are in hda6. When it boots at hda1, it says "disk error / press R to restart", and when I try to boot at hda6, it just hangs with weird characters that look like "Ca". I've been searching the net since yesterday, and while people say Win2k can boot from the extended partition, I can't find any site HOW to do it. If anyone can point me to the proper URL, I'd be very thankful. Well, TIA! -- Joon Guillen ================================ So computers are tools of the Devil? thought Newt.
