-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Linux and Windows ??

Hi Jim, What I did was make the slave drive the win98, where I messed up was I 
made it the default and it won't boot. I said to heck with it so I just go into 
the bios and have it look at the D: drive first to get into windows, If I want 
Redhat I change the bios to C: drive, works fine this way, I don't know how to 
run Redhat yet so don't know how to save to folders and how to work the sound 
and things like that. I can't even login under my name because it says it needs 
to be put in the (I think) Host file. I ain't goin to worry about it.
Yours Hank

  When you add/remove drives the drive letters change in windows, this 
  will usually cause problems with windows and or windows programs.

  Depending on how you partition the 2nd physical hard drive, it will 
  either be D: or F in your system.
  If you want it to be D: then create 1 primary partition on it.
  If you want it to be F: then create one extended primary partition on it 
  and create 1 logical drive in that.

  Both drives will have to be installed / connected when you do the 
  install of linux, and it sounds like your windows drive is now messed up 
  so you might have to install that over again, if that's the case do it 
  first, then do the linux install.

  It's VERY Important that you understand how windows assigns drive letters.
