I have Windows 95 installed with Linux, four partitions, everything is
fine. I'd prefer to be 100% Linux, but something just came up where
I'll have to use Windows a bit.
I've got a copy of Windows NT that came with my computer, and I've had
NT plus Linux running happily together under a scheme similar to my
current win95+linux.
My question is: I'd like to install NT over 95, and leave everything
else as is. I don't see any immediate, difficult problems in doing
this, but I'm just hoping someone might point out potential disasters
that I'm overlooking.
I currently have Lilo installed on /dev/sda (i.e. master boot
record). Windows 95 is installed on /dev/sda1 (one gig), my Linux
swap is /dev/sda2 (about 50 megs), my linux system is /dev/sda3 (about
a gig), and /dev/sda4 is four gigs of EXT2-fs for storage. If I
remember correctly, I have two options for the boot deal with
NT+Linux: I can do the "dd" thing on my linux boot sector, and copy
that into the NT boot loader. If I remember correctly, is it also
possible to make /dev/sda3 my _bootable_ partition, install lilo on
that (/dev/sda3), and have lilo point to /dev/sda1 for NT and
/dev/sda3 for Linux, verdad?
Thanks!
