Guest Anatoly Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 (edited) Hi! I have a pc with 2 hardrives. I have Mandrake on hda. Can I install Win2000 on hdb and then just reconfigure Lilo or Grub to be able to boot both OS? I know that the most common is to install Windows first and then to install Linux. But maybe is't possible to solve my situation becouse I have a separate (hdb) disk for WIndows?

arctic Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 yes, you can. there are several ways to do this. the easiest one might be to plug off the hda with mandrake and install windows on hdb, set as master. then plug the hda back in and modify your bootloader. take a look here, too. it is a similar topic. http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=24136&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, shall I plug in hda (with Mandrake) as master again after having installed Windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 yes. after you have done that, modify your /etc/lilo.conf file (= your bootloader) as explained in the howto of the faq section. and do not forget to set your windows hd to slave again (= not primary boot hdd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
