I just installed SuSE Linux pro 7.0 and unlike Win '98 and NT I can't dual boot Linux with win '98. How can I configure the hard so I get option to boot either operating system. Here is how the partition looks like:

Volume Type Size Used Free Status Pri/Log
C: FAT32 2,039.5 1,411.9 627.5 Active Primary
*: Extended 6,016.5 6,016.5 0.0 None Primary
*: LinuxExt2 23.3 3.3 20.2 None Logical
*: LinuxSwap 133.3 133.3 0.0 None Logical
*: LinuxExt2 5,859.6 1,184.5 4,675.2 None Logical
*: FreeSpace 11,484.0 0.0 0.0 None Primary

You have Windows and Linux on same partition?? Usually for dual boot, you want each OS on its own partition....someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but that's how I did a Win98/Linux install a while back.....

Did you install LILO during the SUSE installation? There should be an option there that let's you choose between windows and Linux.
