Hi,
I'm having a problem with my brother's computer, when I tried installing
Linux onto it.
XP was installed on both drivers (C and D drive), its boot loader gave
the option of booting from both. The drive which was booted from was the
D drive. I don't know if the XP loader was really booting to the D drive
or if it was using the C drive to hop on onto the D drive, I just don't
know.
Since XP's defrag tool wasn't up to the task of creating a large contiguous
block, I had to blow away the C drive. Currently there's just one large
ext2 partition (and a small swap partition) on the C drive. When telling
lilo to attempt to boot of /dev/hdc1 to get to XP on the secondary
partition, it says this on bootup:
Invalid system disk
Replace the disk, and then press any key
Any idea on how to get XP bootable?
If it's not possible to get it working, I may just repartition the C
drive and reinstall both linux and XP on it but it would be nice to not
do any more installation.
Paul.
