Re: [UUG/MLUG] Hdd's?

["Jason McIntosh" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I haven't had too many problems in the past.  At one point in time, I had
Win95, WinNT, and Linux installed all at once.  I was using Lilo as the main
boot loader, which then loaded the NT boot loader to choose 95 or NT.
Worked without a hitch.  I could see the 95 partition fine (although if I
remember correct, was using NTFS, so couldn't read it at all).  I don't know
what's going on there, but I've never had a problem with multiple OS's on
one HD.
