Re: [OT] Linux -> Winderz
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2005
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 62429
interpreted = N
texte = This is not correct. I think it is your use of BIOS that is making this confusing. In the BIOS you will be able to set the configuration for the IDE channels 1 & 2, master and slave for each. The BIOS will see the CD-Rom drive here. Though, it may not allow you to boot from the CD drive. If that is the case then you have an extremely old machine, which is a different problem all together. Now, if you have a boot floppy and you have the BIOS set to boot from the floppy first then it does not matter if Linux sees the floppy at all. Though, you may need a Linux boot disk in order to see the Linux partition and perform the formatting. -----Original Message----- From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com] On Behalf Of Gary Krockover Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 5:48 PM To: WebDNA Talk Subject: Re: [OT] Linux -> Winderz *If* the BIOS see's your Cd-rom, then you should be able to boot directly to the Windows cd, which will then give you the option to blow away the existing partition, reformat and then install it.
