Welcome everyone
I have a quite difficult problem. i have 2 operating systems on the same disk
knoppix and win98. And it is partitioned like this:
/dev/hda1 - ext3 knoppix
/dev/hda2 - fat32 win98 (system)
/dev/hda3 - linux swap
/dev/hda4 - fat32 win98 (storage)
for a long time both linux and win were recognising partitons /dev/hda2 and
/dev/hda4 as unhidden. However some time ago a had to install lilo through "liloconfig"
from that time partition /dev/hda4 is hidden and win 98 don't see it. Do You
have any suggestions to options in lilo.conf to make lilo unhide this partition I've tried something like this:
other=/dev/hda1
label=Win98
table=/dev/hda
change
automatic
partition=/dev/hda1
set=dos16_big_normal
activate
partition=/dev/hda4
set=dos16_big_normal
activate
it didn't work. however i'm not sure in line set= the fstype for fat32
another thing is that my disk is 40GB but my motherboard supports disks only to 32 GB and nothing after this limit can be used. however this partitions doesn't cross this limit
