Once you have partitioned the hard drive, leaving room for the Linux partition, put the Linux CD in the tray and access (by DOS) dosutils directory of the CD. Still at the DOS prompt type the command “RAWRITE.” The program asks “Enter disk image source file name”, type “D: imagensboot.img”, assuming D: is the letter of your CD-ROM.

When asked, answer that you want to install Lilo in the MBR of the HD track. Then it shows a table with disk partitions in which the computer can be booted. Appear in the list: the Linux partition and the Windows partition. Select the Windows partition and properties enter a nickname for her, “Win98″ for example, anything that you find easier to type. You’re done configuring Lilo to make Windows and Linux Dual Boot. Once you turn on your computer a message appears “Lilo Boot”. To boot into Windows, enter the nickname given “Win98″ for example, and hit enter. If you want to get into Linux simply hit enter without typing anything. If you want to change the setting later by editing the / etc / lilo.conf after saving the file, type the command “lilo” at the prompt to activate your changes.
