Hi all,
I have a Pentium 4 with 256 Meg of RAM. It is running
Windows XP. Yesterday, I added another hard drive for
linux installation. So, one hard drive has Windows XP
and the other has Linux redhat 8.2. I am trying to
make my system a dual boot system. Now here are my
questions:
Red Hat 8.2? The last release was 8.0.
1) I am not sure whether I have used Lilo or Grub
during installation. How can I know which one I am
using? When I boot to Linux, it shows a man with a
redhat in the left half of the screen, but no
indication of Lilo or Grub.
If it says something about control-x for command line it's lilo.
2) How can I switch between Lilo and Grub?
Generally redhat installs grub, and lilo config files. Install one
into your mbr is as simple as typing "lilo", or grub-install".
3) The choices that I get during the reboot are:
Linux, Dos and Linux bak. I am not sure what Linux bak
is for. When I choose Linux, redhat comes up fine and
everything is cool. When I choose Dos, nothing
happens. I tried to modify lilo.conf and grub.conf to
add Windows XP to the list, but for some reason it
does not take into effect. Do I need to run anything
after modyfing these two config files, or reboot
should pick it up? When I reboot, nothing is
changed!!!
Grub reads it's config file at boot from the file system. Lilo need
to be rerun after evey change.
4) What should I add to my lilo.conf or grub.conf in
order to boot into windows XP?
What device is your windows XP partition?
