RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Dual booting w/EMC

windows will overwrite the master boot sector WHEN you install it,
if you do the install of linux first AND make a boot floppy,
THEN install windows, you could still boot linux with the boot floppy
(i always make a boot floppy, im paranoid)

another thing you can do if you install windows first (i always do) is to
have linux MOUNT the windows partition when it boots (i always put it under
/win-sys) that way you have access to the windows stuff when in linux

i'd stop and install windows first, its just easier

you can install lilo to the master boot sector, and it will give you the
option of either dos (it thinks all fat partitions are DOS) or linux at
boot
time, or you can opt to not install to the master boot sector and later
make
a boot floppy (later in the install process)
i have done both... master boot sector is probably easier

did you install windows first? you need to

Ok - I'm in the BDI install... got the partitions setup - I'm now to the
LILO config - do I want to create a boot disk and not install LILO? What
should I do!? :0

Ok... here's what I've done so far - I deleted my FAT32 partition, and
I'm making a 2GB FAT32 partition in fdisk for Windows. That leaves 2GB
of sector space left on the drive for BDI to deal with; that a viable
way to do things?

i would let the 'custom' part of the BDI do that, it's got a nice
graphical
setup
just remember to do the 'custom' install, or it will try to repartition
and
reformat everything... i think (never actually done anything BUT a
custom
install).
you can use toms root boot floppy to save everything on you disk if you
have
somewhere to keep it
boot with it and do a man tar
you can use tar and bz2
to consolidate everything on the drive and then zip it up
that is what i do to backup this system (but it's dual booting right
now, so
i do it from the linux side, then reboot and burn the bziped file to a
cd---they have all compressed to less then 600 megs so far

That's what I'm doing right now - just checking Windows for stuff I need
to save. Should I make a partition in fdisk for Linux part/swap or just
FAT32 and let Linux make it's own partition?

boot with a win98 boot floppy with fdisk on it, then fdisk the drive,
manually making a partition just for windows

That's the part I could never figure out how to do - windows always
wants to grab the entire drive. In the past I once resorted to
installing win3.1 (which is more cooperative) onto the desired
partition, then uprgrading it to win95. So more recently I've just
used a seperate drive or a seperate computer...
