Hey guys...
Currently, I have a dual boot system happening with W2k and Mandrake Linux. My Hdd is set up as follows:
18 Gb NTFS (W2K install) --> Primary partition
35 Gb FAT32 (data)
7 Gb (all the stuff with Mandrake)
I am currently using LILO as the boot manager. This was done automatically by the mandrake install when I did the dual boot the first time, and I am not that familiar with linux and how lilo.conf is organized in the MBR...
anyhow, my question is that I would like format my W2k partition and install WinXP on it. Can I just format my primary partition and just do the install?? (as I don't want to change my FAT32 and linux partitions)...would LILO still be able to determine how to manage the OS'es??
Any help would be appreciated!
