Hello,


I want to have a dual OS: Windows & Linux
Windows on the first partition and Linux on the second partition.
I already partitioned a clean hard drive using fdisk.

How do I get it to prompt me at bootup time to load Windows or Linux?

Can you show me step by step?

First, install Windows on the first partition.

Then, install Linux on the second partition.

----

Boot into Linux, then su to 'root'.
Add these to /etc/lilo.conf:

other=/dev/hda1
label=win
table=/dev/hda

run /sbin/lilo for the changes to take effect.

You're done! The next time you boot your system, you can type 'win' at the LILO prompt to boot into Windows.

regards,
