[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi!! I will try to install multiple os on my computer, there was no problem when I had a small harddisk and windows 98. But this time I have a 30G harddisk and windows 2000. The first problem I got was that I can not boot a os after 1024 sectors. So I wonder if I can make a small windows partion(2G), and then make a small freebsd partion(5M) using "custom install". I will then make a small Linux partion(5M) thing using fdisk in Linux. When installing freebsd I mount the small freebsd partion to "/boot", and all other dir to a new allocatede partion. Then I proceed with Linux in the same way. I can then allocate the rest of the hard disk to windows. The next problem are how I should boot the system. I asume that I should keep windows 2000 bootloader. But I donīt know what file in windows 2000 I have to edit (have been told that file is named boot.ini in NT), neither do I know what to right in that file. So please help!!
