This is my post to another issue see the second paragraph. This of course assumes you are using grub on the mbr to boot with.
It has always been my policy to not upgrade Windows OS unless/until there is something specific I need that is only available in the new product. My home and office machines both dual boot to Win2k, better stability and security than 98/ME and will play games. You should have no problem installing XP on the fat32 partition it should even let you keep the 98 install. The biggest thing to be aware of is that MS just loves to mess with the MBR of your primary hard drive. So if you use grub, and you should. You will need to re burn the MBR after MS has had its way with it. Just boot the RH7.2 cd1 to "linux rescue" chroot /mnt/sysimage and run /sbin/grub-install /dev/<primary hardisk> most likely "hda". Then grub will work as it used to. When you boot to the old win98 you will get winXP and you should have the option to boot into win98 at that time. What makes you so hot to deal with activation keys anyway? -----Original Message----- From: Jianping Zhu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 10:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: boot into redhat 7.2 I have a w2k install in the primary partion in linux (redhat 7.2), When I install redhat linux I failed to produced a boot floppy(because there some defect with the floppy drive). Now when I boot my computer it always goes to w2k, is there any way I can boot into linux?(by using hard disk or CDROM, I mean) Thanks -------------------------------- Jianping Zhu Department of Computer Science Univerity of Georgia Athens, GA 30602 -------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
