How can I install linux on second disk?
Basically, the general trouble which could appear here,is that machine couldn’t boot either Linux nor other OS after lilo screwed up the master boot record of the hard disk. The suitable solution,which was used by one mailing list members, is: • Create a `rescue disk’ from another NT machine • Use a DOS floppy to rewrite the MBR, using `fdisk /mbr’ • Boot from the CDROM or use the first three boot disks from your NT install to proceed to perform a rescue, using your newly-created rescue disk. • Other OS (NT for ex.) should now boot. See the Linux+NT mini-faq for steps in using the NT boot manager to boot both Linux and NT If you decide to continue to try and use lilo, be sure to not use the MBR of the first disk, as that is where the NT boot loader resides. Use the boot sector of the first partition, i.e., /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda.
