|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Try to install Windows NT first. If you want to use NTFS for your Windows
|
|
NT-partition, keep in mind, that the todays production version of Linux
|
|
cannot access NTFS partitions.
|
|
An alpha driver that can read NTFS-Partitions is available at
|
|
<CODE>http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~loewis/ntfs</CODE>.
|
|
You may create a separate FAT-Partition for data exchange
|
|
or you have to use DOS-formatted floppies.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss3.2">3.2 Partitioning</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Another Mini-howto recommends not to use NTs "Disk Administartor"
|
|
to create the Linux swap- and root-partitions. It is sufficient to
|
|
see the free space there. I also recommend to use linux's fdisk later.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss3.3">3.3 Linux installation</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Now boot linux from diskettes, create the swap and root-partition.
|
|
Fdisk assumes the ntfs-partition to be a HPFS-partition.
|
|
This is normal.
|
|
Boot again from diskettes and install Linux as you like.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Just in case the installation procedure suggests that you could mount
|
|
the HPFS partition which it has found: Ignore it.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss3.4">3.4 Lilo</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>When you come to the Lilo-Section, specify your Linux-root-partition
|
|
as your boot device because the Master Boot Record (MBR) of your
|
|
harddisk is owned by Windows NT. This means that the root-entry and
|
|
the boot-entry in your <CODE>/etc/lilo.conf</CODE> have the same value.
|
|
If you have a IDE-harddisk and your Linux-partition is the second
|
|
partition, your boot-entry in <CODE>/etc/lilo.conf</CODE> looks like:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
boot=/dev/hda2
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<P>If you have two disks and your Linux resides on the first partition
|
|
of your second disk, your boot-entry in <CODE>/etc/lilo.conf</CODE> looks like:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
boot=/dev/hdb1
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<P>Run lilo with a kernel that matches your system.
|
|
Check the kernel by booting from diskette first if you are not sure.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>If you cannot boot Windows NT now, you have a problem.
|
|
I hope you have created a repair-disk recently.
