Multiple OS in your PC
Here is my partitions mapping for working pc.
Notes:
- I used Partition Magic 8 for Windows,
it correctly resizes ext3 partitions
- Partition Magic 8 seems not to be able to recognize unsed space over Fedora
Core 3 partitions, for this reason I created the partition with the correct
size before installing it.
- Use the label "Fedora" for the partion hosting Fedora Core 3,
particularly do not use blank spaces
| Configuration 1 Windows XP - Red Hat AS 3.0 -
Fedora Core 3
| OS | Partition | Type | Status | Primary/Logic |
| Windows XP | VAIO (c:) | NTFS | None | Primary |
| Swap | SWAPSPACE2 (*.) | Linux SWAP | None | Primary |
| Red Hat AS 3.0 | / (*.) | Linux EXT3 | Active | Primary |
| Fedora Core 3 | Local Disc <no label> (*.) | Linux EXT3 | None | Primary |
- Install Windows XP
- Install Red Hat 3.0, use Grub on Master Boot Record
- Install Fedora Core 3
- Now you will be unable to boot Red Hat AS 3.0 because of invalid Grub
configuration
- Mount the Red Hat AS 3.0 partition from Fedora
How to mount on Linux
- Go to /RedHatAS3.0/boot/grub/grub.conf and copy the boot string to the
/boot/grub/grub.conf in Fedora, if you need help on Grub please see
GRUB
