Multi Operating System

To install multi Operating System is not hard. Let say, you wanted to install Window 98, Window Xp and Red Hat in one computer.

I advised you partition your hard drive into 3 or 4.

First, install Win 98 at partition 1, nothing special, normal installation.

After Win98 finished his part, then install Win Xp at partition 2, nothing special, normal windows installation.

After Win XP finished, Win Xp will generate boot.ini ( menu ) at drive c for you to select which OS.

Then install Linux Red Hat, nothing special too, normal Linux installation.

Linux will generate another menu for you either goto Linux or Window.

If Linux never generate a menu for you, then configuration needed. Refer below.

Configuration : give me few days for this, I need my notes.

Operating System Menu ( boot.ini ) -

[boot loader]
timeout=30
rem default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS
default=c:\
[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS="(((( Windows XP 1 ))))" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\WINDOWS="(((( Windows XP 2 ))))" /fastdetect
C:\=" (((( Windows 98 ))))"
