How to add Win2000, Win Me option to Lilo menu?

Hi All,

I have installed RH Linux 7.1, windows 2000 and windows ME in the same machine.

There are two booting menu:

Lilo:
Linux
Dos

Dos :
Windows2000
WindowsME

If I want to use windowME, I need to boot lilo and choose dos and final choose windows ME.

Have any methods that only a single menu to access OS?

Regards
Wilson

How many disks do you have? Where are the windows partitions
located ? Without these questions answered it's hard to give you an exact answer but the lilo.conf file _might_ look something along these lines:

...
other = /dev/hda2
���� label = winme

other = /dev/hdb1
���� label = wintwok
���� table = /dev/hdb
...

If you're not sure about what partitions you could try:

# fdisk -l /dev/hda
# fdisk -l /dev/hdb

Reading the lilo.conf man page doesn't hurt either :slight_smile:

J.P

EDIT: Don't forget to run /sbin/lilo after you make any changes to the lilo.conf file.

you just have to know what partitions hold your windows OSes and how Linux sees those partitions, then as JP said, just edit lilo.conf :slight_smile:

Sorry I haven't quoted the details.

Would please help to quote how to add it?

I have one hard disk only.

The result of fdisk -l /dev/hda
device System OS
/dev/hda1 FAT16 WinME
/dev/hda2 Win95 Ext'd (LBA) ---
/dev/hda5 WIn95 FAT32 Win2000
/dev/hda6 Linux
/dev/hda7 Linux
/dev/hda8 Linux swap
/dev/hda9 WIn95 FAT32 ---

lilo.conf

..
other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=windows
....

boot.ini
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\winnt
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\winnt="Microsoft WIndows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\ = 'Microsoft Windows"

Many thanks
Wilson
