[HOWTO]: Dual-boot Knoppix with Windows NT/2000/XP

[Markus]

The hal.dll is often due to a misconfigured C:\boot.ini . Could you post it here or just check if you made a typo in it. If your C:\ is NTFS you could use a DOS bootdisk or winCD to change the file.

What procedure do i need to boot?

What is the best/

1. NTLDR
2. Gag MBR
3. GAG Floppy
4. LILO(i would like to use this, because i don't have to go to windows to finish the install)

[sklynn]

Can anyone point me to information about dual booting Windows 98SE and Knoppix V.3.4 ?

i got to the install lilo part, i choose no but it installed anyway, plus, it cant write to the floppy

Ok, couple of questions for you guys.

(6) Next, partition your /dev/hdb. I'm no Linux partition expert, so I just make a 300MB swap partition and use the remaining space for a Linux partition.

How do I do this? Can I do it in Windows or Knoppix? Or either? What utility is recommended?

(9) When prompted to make a boot floppy, make sure you make a boot floppy!. It's REQUIRED in a later step.

So, boot disks are required. Can I use a USB stick or a boot CD instead? (I really really really hate floppies; they're archaic, unreliable and prone to errors)

Say no to the MBR? I said yes, and it works gr8! Wind0ze XP home sp2 boots fine for me.
I could've gotten lucky.

Try grub.exe to boot the iso file from dos... cf: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11796
