Multiboot programs ?

[bizou 0]

Hi everyone !

I have W2000, w98 and linux installed on my computer (each one on a primary partition) but i can't succeed in chosing one of them from the boot :

W2000 has installed NT loader on my w98 partition ( choice between w98 and w2000 but not linux) and lilo is not really fine.

How can i modify the ntloader to consider every system?

Or is there a freeware loader loader which can do it quite well (i've tried boot it -> can't run w2000 and bootmaster which crashed my table partition)???

 

Many thanks for answers !

Well, it all depends on your choice of bootloaders. You can either edit the NT loader to include all 2 OSes, or u can use LILO...there is a catch to the order u install all these OSes. I suggest first should have been W98, then Linux, then W2K.

You can use the NT Loader to boot all 3, incl. Linux.

Here some links:

I like to use the NT Loader since WIn2k is the OS that'll stay on my system for a long time.
