greetings,
since i have a test server in front of me and i have never tried it i
request your assistance please.
ive always been a fdisk and lilo person
i have a fresh CentOS 4 "test" install on a WD120 sata /dev/sda
/dev/sda1 /
/dev/sda2 /boot
/dev/sda3 swap
and it just so happens i have a old test 17Gig Maxtor PATA with a fresh
Win98 on it from helping my father migrate to a newer cpu and opsys
when i go into a fdisk /dev/hda i get this "print"
/dev/hda1 c: w95 fat32 lba
/dev/hda2 w95 ext lba
/dev/hda5 d: w95 fat 32
currently i can boot into the CentOS 4 install and it does not see the PATA
drive by default unless i go into fdisk of course. it is not mounted.
or i can switch them and boot into win98, whatever is best for this learning
test.
ive always tried to have 2 or more (hot/cold swapouts) of everything client
and server hardwares so i never needed to dual boot.
can someone show me what steps they would take using linux rescue to get
this "test" situation to dual boot please?
i did try with "linux rescue" and was rec'v grub not found errors when
running grub-install /dev/sda so im sure i have done something worng.
also, i can make the windows pata drive primary or the linux sata primary so
please advise what is best.
maybe i didnt understand the recent thread re: dual boot situation.
thanks in advance and kind regards,
- rh
