***********************************************************
I just added my old hard drive to my computer. It is recognized as hdb. It has 2
partitions c:\ and d:\. Plus it will have its own mbr as it was the master (and
only hard drive) I had back when I used it.
LILO
*************************************************************************************
I would like to add the option of booting to windows to LILO. I have put the
following in lilo.conf:
other = /dev/hdb1
table = /dev/hdb
label = Windows
but when I choosed the windows option, my screen says "Loading Windows...." and we
just hang there.
I know that there is a trick to booting to a 2nd hard drive. I read that I should
add the line
loader=/boot/any_d.b
but I do not have the file any_d.b.
Mounting the drive from w/n Linux
**********************************************************************
I added the following to fstab:
/dev/hdb /C msdos defalts
I when I then try and mount /C or /dev /hdb, I get an error saying wrong fs type.
This is more that likely because windows uses fat32 and fat16. I tried substituting
'fat' for msdos. I recieved the error that I did not have fat support in my kernel.
Before I go and rebuild kernel...
My question is what fs should I be mounting the drive as ? fat16? fat32? fat?
Will it matter if
