Multiple-boot WINDOWS NT and RED HAT LINUX instance

Host LEE has installed a WINDOWSNT4, disk two NTFS partition. wishes to install REDHATLINUX6.0, and achieve a multiboot, detailed procedures are as follows.

1. defragment the hard disk, clear of the unpartitioned space------------------------------use PQ5.0 can easily achieve, through the reorganization of the partition, get 445M unpartitioned space. 2. install via FTP REDHATLINUX--------------------------------first, the establishment of the FTP site at host XIU (NTSERVER4 + IIS2.0) on the establishment of the FTP service, the FTP home directory to the drive (F:), allow anonymous login. REDHAT installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. The second step, make a BOOT floppy disk for REDHAT installation, using tools such as HD-COPY software installation CD IMAGES directory of the file to a floppy disk BOOTNET.IMG. The third step, using a BOOT floppy disk boot produced by LEE, specify the network card to the host model, interrupt address, interrupt, native: model: NOVELLNE2000COMPATIBLE IOADDR.: 0 X300 IRQ: 10 Configuring native TCP/IP, IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, primary DNS address. then, specify the installation mode---FTP, given the IP address of the FTP site, REDHAT release directory.: FTPADDR: 192.168.0.155 DIR:/ The fourth step, BOOT partition, SWAP partition, ROOT, use DiskDruid tools, add three partitions: DSN MountPointSize (Megs)----------------------------------------/BOOT16da5 LINUXSWAP16da6/410da7 step five, initialize the partition, select the installed components. The sixth step, select the installation partition, to begin the installation. The seventh step, configuring the system. 7.1 configuring mouse 7.2 configure XWindows 7.3 configuration network 7.4 configure clock 7.5 choose to startup device 7.6 configure printer set root password 7.7 7.8 creating boot floppy 3. install LILO--------------in order to achieve using NTLDR to boot LINUX, do not use LILO installation in the master boot record (MBR), which will be installed in the BOOT LILO partition's first sector. 4. make implementation a multiboot BOOTSECT.LIN,----------------------------------LINUX installation is finished, you start still automatically enter NT, if you want access to LINUX, you must use the LINUX boot floppy disk in order to achieve the NTLDR to boot LINUX and begin making LINUX boot sector mirror files. The following two ways: 1) to use the LINUX command ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ use the startup disk into LINUX, ROOT account login, insert the floppy disk that holds the image as follows using the command create BOOTSECT.LIN # mount-tmsdos/dev/fd0/mnt # ddif =/dev/hda5bs = 512count = 1of =/mnt/bootsect.lin # umount/dev/d0 because Linux Boot partition is/dev/hda5, ' dd ' to generate boot record mapping file. 2) using NORTONDISKEDIT2000 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ use NORTONDISKEDIT, direct read BOOT partition's boot sector, and saves it as BOOTSECT.LIN file. process is as follows: a first step, view the hard disk partition table, get LINUX extended partition addresses. The second step, view the extended partition, partition table, BOOT partition (logical drive) boot sector of the starting address. The third step, the sector (with LILO typeface) stored on floppy BOOTSECT.LIN file. Specific can be found >. After the file is obtained, BOOTSECT.LIN restart LEE entered the NT, and then modify the BOOT.INI file, and copy to C:\ BOOTSECT.LIN file, set its property is set to read-only. BOOT.INI file ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [bootloader] timeout = 30 default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINNT [operatingsystems] multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINNT = "WindowsNTServerVersion4.00" multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINNT = "WindowsNTServerVersion4.00 [VGAmode]"/basevideo/sos C:\BOOTSECT.LIN = "REDHATLINUX "restart, you can now enter through selected single arbitrary system.
