Subject: How to load Linux from GRUB? 2005-11-05 - By peter wu
Back Thanks, gents,
I tried 'fdisk -l' at the shell prompt, but it returns nothing. I guess I am really hosed... :(
Luckily, I backed up most of my data, so it's not really a great loss, except that I have to reinstall a bunch of things. But since I had this problem, I am not really sure what I had done is the proper way of doing it. (Actually, it 'seemed' to be working all right until I tried to add a partition on top of dual-boot.) So, I am wondering if you can give me some hints as to how to install dual-boot system with two partitions on Windows side.
First, what's the best way to format and partition from scratch? Should I install Windows first and then Linux?
Second, I have to admit that I've used the hacked version of PartitionMagic. Could this possibly a problem? If I don't use PartitionMagic, how can I partition?
I really appreciate your kind replies.
Regards,
--peter
