|
|
|
|
<P>There are a number of documents available that describe in detail how to
|
|
multiboot just about any number of OS's using NT's OS loader. When I
|
|
finally bought Windows NT, I already had Windows 95 and Linux installed
|
|
on my system and I was using LILO to multiboot between them. I decided
|
|
to add Windows NT to LILO instead of using NT's OS loader.
|
|
<P>Originally I had Windows 95 on my first IDE disk drive and Linux on my
|
|
second IDE disk drive. The Linux drive became my third IDE drive and I
|
|
installed a new IDE disk for Windows NT as my second drive. Even though
|
|
I haven't tried this in different configurations, I believe the order
|
|
with which each OS is installed or which drive it is installed on is
|
|
unimportant.
|
|
<P>Just remember to create those emergemcy bootup floppies when each OS
|
|
prompts you to!
|
|
<P>Because I used Gilles Vollant's BootPart utility and BootPart only
|
|
supports drives up to 4GB in size, this may not work if you have drives
|
|
of larger capacity. If you need to work with drives greater than 4GB,
|
|
contact Gilles directly (see BootPart documentation for Gilles' e-mail
|
|
address).
