For Grub :<br />
<br />
* Add the following lines to /boot/brub/grub.conf<br />

&nbsp; rootnoverify (hd0,0)<br />
&nbsp; chainloader +1<br />
#####<br />
* run &quot;grub-install /dev/hda&quot;<br />
<br />
For Lilo :<br />

I advise you to test whether the rescue mode works correctly before you install windows. &nbsp;You can use the cd of any linux distribution cd to do so.<br />

I had challenges installing win2k on my computer and so went ahead with Mandrake 10.0. &nbsp;I've read there is a way to install a dual-boot with win2k AFTER Mandrake, but would like step by steps since this is new to me. &nbsp;Thanks.

Dual boot win2k and Mandrake 10.0 *AFTER* Mandrake 10.0 already installed?

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
