Has anyone upgraded a dual boot WIn98/Linux system
to Win200/Linux system. I've got to help a friend
who needs to run some of MS servers for testing
but wants to keep his Linux didstro. I was
wondering if there are any known porblems getting
the programs to co-exist. He has BootMagic taking
care of it now but I heard that Win2000 will
overwrite it. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Falcon.

The way I achieved this, from NT4 to 2000AS, was just
installing 2000 then using my boot floppy to get to
linux boot(since 2000 so generously rewrote my MBR
without asking) reconfigured LILO and ran it. Can
say much for BootMagic but LILO worked like a charm.

I now am the proud owner of a triple boot Nt4/win2k/linux system.
The trick is to have 3 hard drives. It works very well. I have linux
on
hda, nt4 on hdb and win2k on sda. Lilo boots the computer, win2k and
nt4 don't really know linux is there because lilo remaps the drives in
bios. This makes setup of msft o/s very easy because you can set up the
drive as the boot drive, setup the msftos and then reconfigure. To boot
you reconfigure using lilo.
