Hi, I have a FC3 box that I want to put RHEL3 on (actually WB but
same differrence right). Anyway here is my partition layout (80 G
drive):
Disk /dev/hdd: 33.8 GB, 33820286976 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4111 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdd1 * 1 1275 10241406 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hdd2 1276 1288 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdd3 1289 4111 22675747+ 8e Linux LVM
[root at 202 ~]#
When I did the FC install I accidentally put GRUB on the MBR (I
think), which removed my xp functionality. Questions for the group
are:
1) Is there a way in linux to get the windows partition/os/bootability
back? If so, how?
2) Can I dual boot Fedora with RHEL3/WB, 'as is' ? IOW, what else do
I need to set up, partition-wise? Will a second *nix installation,
'see' and use any of the other stuff from the current Fedora install?
Has anyone else attempted a dual boot of Linuxes and if so what did
you do. Can you share a /boot for example between two OS-es?
Anything else?
I tried this before with SuSE and FC and it wouldn't let me proceed
b/c it would not let me mark any additional partition as active.
Thanks in advance
Marc
