Re: trouble installing NT after Linux & Win98 (stop 0x0000007B)

[Jim Cook <jimcook panix com>]

I'd also like to use Linux, WinNT and Win95 together ... so I've been
reading, playing around and talking to tech support people

I've tried unsuccessfully to install WinNT 4.0 after RedHat 5.1 ... and
also got the "blue screen" ... presumably because I had put LILO in the MBR
rather than in the root partition

Micro$oft tech support recommended that I install WinNT first and then
Linux ... and use WinNT's boot manager ... does that make sense ???

also, it doesn't seem that WinNT recognizes Linux partitions ... true ???

finally, Win95/98 now uses FAT32X partitions ... and WinNT 5.0 presumably
will also ... so does Linux recognize FAT32X partitions ???
