RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Windoze - Linux

sort-of, but it's risky! if you have a boot floppy (if you made one when
prompted during the linux install) AND you have empty partitions for windows
(or another disk you can use). what you will need to do is install windows
to empty partition somewhere, reboot (a million times) then reboot again...
and reboot a few more times just to be safe (it's microsoft after all)
sorry... anyhow reboot with the linux boot floppy in the drive, linux SHOULD
come up, then edit lilo.conf (should be in /etc) to include the windows os,
then rerun lilo (you should be root or superuser)
NOW if something goes wrong with this all, and windows doesn't want to
respond, you can boot with a windows 98 boot floppy and restore the WINDOWS
master boot sector with fdisk -mbs ... or something like that... may be
-mbr... can't remember (you will have to put fdisk ON your windows boot
floppy... i keep one around for just such an emergency. (never really know
when windows will go belly up)

ive personally found it easier to back up all the info to a burnable cd,
wipe the computer, install windows, then install linux over that (it will
autodetect windows) and proceed from there... ---Dave L.

Is it possible to install Windoze 98 onto a computer that has EMC from the
BDI install?

If so how? I need the PC for Windoze and would rather not lose all my work
to date.
