Hi friends
I was only a Win 9x user till I got to know the
Power of Linux in my Office and planned to
shift to linux in my Home PC. But I was not
done with Windows yet since I had lot of
Important data. So I decided to load a dual
boot on my pc. I was plagued by the following
problems
1) I partitioned my 6.4 GB hard drive using
Linux fdisk as follows
partition1 2000M Linux
partition2 4000M win95/FAT32
partition3 139 M Linux swap
After partioning I started my Win98
installation from the CDROM only to see that my
c: was not accessible. I tried to format it and
it says that The drive does not exist. It gives
some vague errors. Basically I cannot format my
Win95/FAT32 partition.
Directly setting up from CDROM also doesnt
work. It says the same thing that it cannot
format c:
Then I used Dos Fdisk to delete the existing
Dos partition and created a new partition. It
does not allocat the entire 4GB to the
partition but only 200 MB
Please help me and tell me the exact procedure
for creating a Win98/Linux dual boot.
