Hi Naresh,
U can either use 2K's bootloader or Lilo..
I sugest u use Win2K's bootloader..
Do this
. Boot into Linux, get in a root
. type dd if=/dev/hda8 of=boot.lnx count=1 bs=512
. now copy this boot.lnx onto a floppy and into the C: drive of win2K ..
. Repair the boot up processfor win2K using ERD and win2K CD..
. Modify C:\boot.ini to include this line at the end
C:\boot.lnx = "Mera wala Linooooooooooooox!!!"
.Reboot win 2K, now it wud give u an option of booting into either ...
get back if u wanna use Lilo as bootloader ..
Folks please correct me if i "goofed" up somewhere ..
-doofus
