I just added an old HD to my linux box. It has 2 partitions on it with win95 and NTWS. cfdisk says the partitions exist as hdb1 and hdb2 but I can't read, write or boot to either. I've added...
other=/dev/hdb1 label=win95
...to lilo.conf and run lilo and win95 is added to the boot menu but will not boot when selected.
How do I get my other partitions to boot? Is it possible to read and write from one partition to another?
Thanks.I`m booting DSL with win98 without any problems. The win98 partition, which is fat32, is readable, writable and bootable.
I used grub to do this, but I think, you can get it done with lilo too. I have only one disk - hda, but I think it should work with two disks as well.
Here is, how I have set my primary partitions:
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hda1 Boot Primary Win95 FAT32 7962.08 hda2 Boot Primary Linux ext2 57.58
I`ve got no experience using lilo.conf. In fact, when I ran frugal install script, I had grub installed automatically and it`s working perfectly with only minor changes to menu.lst.And how did you mount hdb?
