<sect>HOW TO INSTALL WINDOWS NT/2000 AND LINUX ON A <em>LAPTOP</em>
|

|

<p>
|
||||
<sect1>If you want to have *both* NT and 2000, beside Linux
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Notice: Recently my bosses decided to get a couple of HP Omnibook
|
||||
6000 portables, so I quickly rushed to play with new toys. It was a
|
||||
series with Pentium 3 at 1 GHz and 128 MB of RAM. There's also a hard
|
||||
disk of 30 GB, removable DVD and FDD drives, a secondary battery that
|
||||
goes to the removable drive bay (when it's empty) and NIC/modem combo
|
||||
card.</em>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<itemize>
|
||||
|
||||
<item>Well, the notebooks have come with Windows 2000 Professional
|
||||
preinstalled and I thought it might be great to reformat the disk
|
||||
and start from scratch. I think I did it again with Partition Magic
|
||||
utility by Power Quest. Actually, I have *erased* all existing
|
||||
partitions because I noticed a small one at the beginning of the
|
||||
disk, that looked to me a bit strange (well, I learned later that
|
||||
it was there for hibernation and/or diagnostics).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>After that, I tried to repeat a procedure that I have always
|
||||
been very fond of: to make a couple of FAT partitions (cca 2037 MB)
|
||||
where my NT and/or W2k would go. Don't ask me why I use that old
|
||||
FAT format - it is just to be sure that any type of Windows setup
|
||||
will recognize such a partition and, as well, to be sure that some
|
||||
file exchange (if needed) would be possible between various operating
|
||||
systems. Beside these FAT partitions (that start, of course, from
|
||||
the beginning of the disk), I have also made several FAT partitions
|
||||
but, this time, starting from the *end* of the disk. Partition
|
||||
Magic allowes a user to do that (<-- here the guys from Power
|
||||
Quest should send me a couple of 0.01$ for this commercial of
|
||||
their product :-)).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Well, you may ask me why somebody should make a free space somewhere
|
||||
in between. The answer is: In order to allow Linux's <bf>/boot</bf>
|
||||
partition to stay under well known 1024 cylinder limitation.
|
||||
When it comes to 1024 cyl area (actually, when you enter 1025,
|
||||
1026 ... etc), it doesn't matter what is happening there. It
|
||||
means, there you may put your Linux <bf>/</bf> (root) partition
|
||||
(regardless of its size and structure), as well as to use
|
||||
remaining space for Windows/Linux exchange zone (i.e. FAT).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>So far - so good. So, I put NT's installation disk and
|
||||
followed the procedure (you should be aware to use a "retail" NT
|
||||
installation disk, *not* the one that came with Omnibook 6000,
|
||||
because it is supposed to "restore" an NT installation, accompanied
|
||||
with a hibernation partition. Why such a partition seems not
|
||||
to be suitable here, we'll see later.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>After Windows NT was installed completely, it was the right
|
||||
time to insert Windows 2000 installation CD (once again, do not
|
||||
use 2000's disks that have come with the computer). So, from
|
||||
within NT running, I have installed 2000 onto the next partition
|
||||
(actually, only the first part of the installation process starts
|
||||
from under NT, but it is ok). When the process has finished, you
|
||||
have two Windozes - on your first two partitions.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>Everything seems to be running ok, excepting the diagnostics.
|
||||
It should be activated with F10 at system boot <bf>if</bf> "restore"
|
||||
CD's were used. Btw, NT's "restoration" finishes with even bigger
|
||||
partition (cca 500 MB). And not only that: this partition seems to
|
||||
be a *primary* one. That means, you may end up with a shortage of
|
||||
primary partitions, in case you intend to install several operating
|
||||
systems. Anyway, I have decided that the diagnostics is not too much
|
||||
important to me, so there's no use of F10 at system boot anymore :-)
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>Not to forget to say, the Windows 2000's boot loader should
|
||||
offer *both* NT and 2000 boot options, if you have followed the
|
||||
mentioned procedure (case you don't want to have *both* NT and W2k
|
||||
on the system, you may skip to the next section).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>Well, that is the time when I usually look after a Linux
|
||||
installation CD's. The first one (in case of two) should be inserted
|
||||
into the DVD (or in a CD drive) and the system has to be re-booted.
|
||||
As usual, after a second or two after switching the system on,
|
||||
<tt>Escape</tt> should be pressed one or two times, in order to
|
||||
change the "boot" device order (of course, a CD/DVD should be
|
||||
chosen here).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>The rest of Linux installation is just as usual. Don't forget
|
||||
to make a Linux boot floppy at the end of the process (you never
|
||||
know when the boot floppy might be of help).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>Folks, in short, that was that. If everything goes fine, the
|
||||
next system boot should take you into the Linux environment. Don't
|
||||
be surprized when you don't see your beloved Windoze(s) boot
|
||||
loader(s) anymore. You just have to look into the another great
|
||||
Linux document, called <url url="http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/LILO.html"name="LILO"> mini-HOWTO. There you'll find more detailed information
|
||||
about how <bf/LILO/ (<bf/Li/nux <bf/Lo/ader) works.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>If you find it easier, read some pages before and check how it
|
||||
was accomplished in the chapter "HOW TO <em>UPGRADE</em> WINDOWS NT TO
|
||||
WINDOWS 2000"
|
||||
|
||||
</itemize>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<sect1>If you want to have only Windows 2000 and Linux
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Notice: Well, all I have said in the previous section, resulted
|
||||
in a "multiboot" (or, better to say, "3-boot") system. When I want
|
||||
to run Linux - I have to choose its option from within LILO menu.
|
||||
When I am about to run any kind of Windoze - I have to choose Windows
|
||||
(or DOS, or whatever else) from within LILO menu. Soon after, on the
|
||||
screen appears Windows 2000 boot loader. Finally, from this point,
|
||||
either NT or 2000 may be booted. Well, for a next task, I wanted to
|
||||
install Symantec's Norton System Works onto both Microsoft environments.
|
||||
I did it successfully, but it seems that I have later entered a command
|
||||
that resulted in changing something very important in the setup. In sum,
|
||||
I have become not able to run both flavours of Windows properly. Looks
|
||||
that it was the right time to re-install all stuff :-)
|
||||
</em>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<itemize>
|
||||
|
||||
<item>Folks, this time I decided to use one of those "restore" CD's,
|
||||
that came with the notebook. I must admit that I liked to see, as
|
||||
the background, a great blue logo "HP Invent", as well as "Manufactured
|
||||
by Hewlett Packard" in My Computer's Properties (<-- here the guys
|
||||
from HP should send me a couple of 0.01$ for this commercial :-))
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>Using the "restore" CD's might help you to avoid the whole
|
||||
long NT/2000's setup procedure(s), because they replicate or, if
|
||||
you like to say, "clone" images from the CD's to the hard disk, and
|
||||
it is very fast. In addition, the hibernation/diagnostics partition
|
||||
is being made by default. Finally, a couple of HP utils and tools can
|
||||
only be "restored" from these CD's.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>So, after a 6-7 minutes, NT (or W2k) is in its place, ready to
|
||||
work. Similarly to "retail" versions (mentioned in the previous
|
||||
section), now it is the right time to boot the system with a Linux
|
||||
installation CD.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>The rest of Linux installation is just as usual. Don't forget
|
||||
to make a Linux boot floppy at the end of the process (you never
|
||||
know when that boot floppy might be useful).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>Folks, that was that - in short. If everything is fine, the
|
||||
next system boot should take you into the Linux environment. Don't
|

|

was done in the chapter "HOW TO <em>UPGRADE</em> WINDOWS NT TO
|
||||
WINDOWS 2000"
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>You bet, the life would be much easier if there were not such
|
||||
troubles, like a "tolerance" between Windows and Linux world. Maybe
|
||||
I have made an another mistake somewhere in the cyberspace, but, as
|
||||
soon as I have finished with that Linux installation - RedHat 7.1 in
|
||||
particular (today is May 04, 2002 and I still have no newer and better
|
||||
distros here. Any donation from the readership ...?), I recognized
|
||||
that F10 at the system boot, does not open the HP diagnostics anymore.
|
||||
Actually, regardless of pressing F10, my Omnibook 6000 goes directly
|
||||
to the graphical LILO screen. *Before* installing Linux, diagnostics
|
||||
was running here without any problem.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>FYI, after the first next boot into W2k, its Disk Management tool
|
||||
has recognized the following partitions on the disk:

|

|

|

</tabular>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>Some more explanations, related to the tables above:
|
||||
It is obvious that diagnostics partition, accompanied with
|
||||
"restored" Windows 2000, is rather small - cca 15 MB (comparing
|
||||
to the partition, that is created with "restored" Windows NT, which
|
||||
goes up to cca 500 MB). Regardless of that fact, it is a <bf>primary</bf>
|
||||
one. That means you should be aware of how many primary partitions
|
||||
you have in the system. I am not sure now, but that might be one of
|
||||
the reasons for not having diagnostic tools available anymore,
|
||||
after completing all operating system installations.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Next, you may see that I have "shrinked" W2k's FAT32
|
||||
partition to a smaller size (cca 7.5 gig), in order to
|
||||
release enough free space for Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
I would suggest you to let Linux setup procedure to transform the
|
||||
free space into Linux partitions. I mean, there's no need to prepare
|
||||
the Linux partitions manually. As you can see from the tables,
|
||||
it took cca 50 megs for the boot part, cca twice a physical RAM
|
||||
(2 x 128 = 256 megs) for swap and the rest goes for other Linux parts.
|
||||
Remaining free space was probably left after the conversions
|
||||
of various file format systems.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>What is the result now: Linux works, Windows works too.
|
||||
There's no diagnostics anymore. The hibernation (from under
|
||||
Windows) is not tested yet. At the first sight, the 3Com
|
||||
NIC/modem combo is not fully supported under Linux. Actually,
|
||||
NIC seems to work, but the modem part is a "winmodem". Nobody
|
||||
knows if HP would do something to solve that issue. All I could
|
||||
say is to avoid HP Omnibook 6000 if modem activities are your
|
||||
primary tasks. Of course, you may spend some $$$ and buy
|
||||
another PCI mini-card with supported modem chip. Beside that, HP's
|
||||
15" screen gives you great picture with the resolution of up to
|
||||
1400 x 1050 at 16 bit colors. Interestingly, that resolution seems
|
||||
to be <em>default</em> under Windows 2000 and it is also easily
|
||||
adopted under Linux (RedHat 7.1). There is also somewhat "over-sensible"
|
||||
touchpad that often acts as the left mouse click. It seems to be a
|
||||
common feature for both Windows and Linux installations. It bothers
|
||||
me sometimes, but your mileage may vary.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<item>The plan is to convert the FAT32 partition to the NTFS in order
|
||||
to get more reliable Windows subsystem. On the other side, Linux
|
||||
main (root) partition should be "shrinked" in order to get some
|
||||
free space. That free space will be used later for exchanging files
|
||||
between these two operating systems (probably it will be also FAT).
