Hey all, I'm running debian (woody) dual booted with win2k on my work laptop, and I'm trying to set it up so that I can run just debian. I'd rather not boot to windows ever again if I can help it.
My solution was to install vmware, and boot win2k whenever I needed to check mail (lotus notes), or run the trouble ticket software (perigrine). These apps are really fussy with wine, and I haven't had any success getting them to run. I'm having a problem with vmware when booting the guest (win2k) os. It get's to the LI in lilo, at boot up, and hangs. Here's my partition table /dev/hda1 = win2k partition /dev/hda2 = debian / filesystem /dev/hda3 = swap I've found on google a link that states that the guest os needs access to the boot partition. I've given the guest os access to /dev/hda1 (rw), and have been trying to figure out how to give read-only access to /dev/hda2 so it can read the boot partition from /dev/hda2. Am I going the right way with this, or barking up the wrong tree?? If so, how do I allow read only access to /dev/hda2 within vmware?
