I ended up booting back off of the SuSE CD-ROM, after Yast2 installation came up, I quit out and it took me to the text-based install. I selected Update and then boot installed system. After I booted, I was able to run the dd command and copy the necessary file to disk and then booted back to NT, changed boot.ini and all is well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Casey" <dwcasey@mysun.com> Date: Monday, January 8, 2001 2:17 pm Subject: [SLE] dual boot with NT

I've tried to use the doc at:

http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/nt.html

I've already got NT on my laptop (Dell Latitude CPx) with a C: and D:.

During the SuSE 6.4 installation, I setup:

/dev/hda3 Extended 2.5gb /dev/hda5 /boot 5mb /dev/hda6 /swap 300mb /dev/hda7 / 2.2gb

And when asked about LILO during installation, the help doc says to install LILO in the Linux root partition, which should be /dev/hda7 for me, right?

I did this, went with the default installation and when it was finished it said it had to reboot. Well, after it booted, it came up to WinNT (of course).

So now I'm thinking, "How do I boot my Linux partition and run the dd command they recommend to get the bootsek.lin file created for NT to use for it's boot loader menu?"

Thanks,

Daniel And once back in linux, how do I specify the floppy for my outfile, is it just /floppy?
