You can configure your computer to start Windows 2000, Windows NT, and either Windows 95 or Windows 98. However, you cannot configure a computer to multiple boot Windows 95 and Windows 98. Both Windows 95 and Windows 98 use the same boot file. Therefore, multiple booting Windows 95 and Windows 98 at the same time is not supported. Your installations are less prone to problems if you install Windows 95 or Windows 98 before you install Windows NT and Windows 2000.

Yes, but you will have to have two partitions (or hard drives) so that you can install XP separately from your other system (which can be DOS/Windows 3.1, Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000). Windows XP will automatically set up a boot menu so you can choose which OS you want when the machine starts up or reboots. The boot menu is configurable by hand-editing the hidden file boot.ini, which you will find in the root of the C: drive.

If all goes well, DebianInstaller should automatically add a working menu item for an existing Windows installation. If no menu item was added, please file a detailed installation report. If you are using GRUB as your bootloader, add the following lines at the end of the file /boot/grub/menu.

You must first resize your Linux partition using a program like Disk Druid, parted or some other partition-manipulating program. You can then add a Windows partition and install Windows. When you are done you need a boot disk to get back into Linux and reinstall GRUB. For additional information, email .

Dual booting Gentoo Linux/SPARC and Solaris can be done one of two ways. The two ways are: having both Gentoo Linux/SPARC and Solaris on the same drive, or having them on separate drives. Below are example SILO configurations for each scenario.

Yes you can! In fact, yabootconfig will automatically detect and setup /etc/yaboot.conf with Linux, Mac OS X and even classic Mac OS (see the Gentoo Handbook for details on yabootconfig). The trick is in how you partition your hard drive. Before installing Gentoo, startup with the Mac OS X Install CD. Use the Disk Utility to partition the drive in your machine into two or three partitions.

DISCLAIMER: Messing around with boot loader issues can make your harddisks unbootable. Please make backups before doing so. Please install a new boot loader only when you really now what you do. We reject any responsibility for damages that may occur on your system. GRUB - the GRand Unified Bootloader - needs to access some files in order to run. Its best you place them on a small - 50MB is enough even for further extensions - FAT 16/32 partition.

Booting into Linux is easy, all you need is a recent copy of Penguin (the booter) and a kernel. (Both of which can be found on this site under "Downloads".) Before you can boot into Linux, you will need to turn off Virtual Memory and you may need Mode32 (see the section on Mode32, later). Start up Penguin, select the kernel that you want to boot from in the configuration screen, and then use the boot option from the file menu. If it works, you'll get a message about rarp requests.

A solution could be to include QTParted in a distribution with live filesystem, for example Knoppix, or SystemRescueCd. uuid is a library included as a part of e2fsprogs. It's required for parted and QtParted. You have to install e2fsprogs by compiling sources:

Simply copy the win98 folder to your hard drive. Run setup from the copied folder and that's all there is to it. If you have already installed win98, copy the folder anyhow then when an installation file needs a file from the cd, browse it to your copied folder. Remember to keep your product key which is on your cd cover, so even if you don't need the cd to install you need the product key on the cd rom cover. Yes, Open DUN, and click "Connections", "Settings".

Sure, you can. Create a primary partiton BEFORE your Windows partition (e.g. with PartitionMagic) and get a boot manager (I use the german tool 'Bootmanager', you can get a free trial version at http://www.bootmanager-pro.de).

No. I'd need hands-on access to your machine to troubleshoot this. Go ask your local Linux user group for hands-on help. (You can find a list of user groups here.) Note: questions about installing Linux may be appropriate if you're on a forum or mailing list about a particular distro, and the problem is with that distro; or on local user groups forums. In this case, be sure to describe the exact details of the failure.

Usually the Win9x will be the C: drive, which also contains the files needed for booting. So, you cannot simply reformat this partition to remove Win9x. Instead, the following procedure should work: Delete the C:\Windows and C:\Program Files folders, along with any other folders on the C: drive that you do not need anymore. Some reports also say you can format the C: drive and boot from the Win XP CD, which will allow you to repair the boot files.

No. All future versions of Windows, starting with OSR2 will not support dual-boot. ( That includes Windows 98. ) Because of the new FAT32, Windows will crash if you boot to another OS that does not support FAT32. ( DOS for example. )

Sooner or later, most people who own an S-100 system need to transfer a file to or from a DOS or Windows (or Macintosh or whatever) computer. A Google search of comp.os.cpm "groups" will find a discussion of this very topic that last occurred in early 2003. It's an old topic. Most people who need to establish serial file transfers to or from a CP/M system (or N* DOS system) of ANY sort end up doing something like this: get a SIMPLE file transfer program onto their CP/M system.

It makes no difference what operating system you are running on your PC; Windows and Mac should work just fine. All you need is Internet access, a web browser that will let you get out on the Internet and access your site, and an FTP program that you can use to connect to your site.
