Multiboot Presario SR1030NX
I need help to multi boot the system.
I have the HP Compaq1 Presario SR1030NX, it came with the system installed on the hard drive. I am trying to make this into a multi boot system and having no luck. Using Norton Ghost to make an image of the C:\ partition. Using Partition magic to make partition active. This works fine on other computer, Windows ME, but can't make it work with this system. I have made two 30 GB partitions, and have dumped both images to the partitions, when I change the active partition I get an eror message file corrupt unable to proceed. Tried fresh install on the second portion, and system locks up wit eror 19 then stops. Seems like there is a hidden start up sector that is stopping the dual boot, any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to run many OS on this machine. |

If your trying to dual boot with Fedora, that may be the cause of your
problem. In an article at /. (Slash dot) http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=0...id=110&tid=187 about a week a go it was noted that there was a problem with dual booting Fedora and Windows 2K or XP. Follow the link for the full details. KC "simiel" wrote in message ... I need help to multi boot the system.
