[ILUG] Dual booting NT an Linux

[Dave Airlie]

Nope it's LILO having problems with NT, it a typical case of just because
it works once for someone, I didn't make myself clear enough earlier, I
have installed many dual boots in the last 2-3 yrs, and I have only seen
the problems on certain machines with certain driver configurations where
NT has been installed first by someone else, and I've come along to add
Linux to it, LILO messed up NT 3 times on me with these configurations, I
had to play with the boot.ini because I didn't want to re-install NT,

I have also seen problems with changing disk partitions after NT is
installed, i.e. install NT, the play with extended disk partitions on the
same drive with linux fdisk, and NT gets sick ..

Dave.
