Hi all--
question about the NT/Linux dual boot...at one point, I had 95, NT and
linux installed, and booting just fine from one harddrive. They were
installed in that order also.
When I decided to clean some house and get rid of 95, and go with NT, and
then added linux...it screwed up my NT partitions EVERYTIME...and believe
me..I was not a happy woman at this point. This turned out well, as it
was my final straw with windows wanting to be "The Lone OS" <insert lone
ranger music here> and so I am now linux only (YAY!)
I have heard that it doesn't work but is there a technical explanation
that I could get detailing why exactly?
Thanks!
