Abstract: Ghost 8 is used for backup and WinNT loader for coexistence of N systems.

I bought a computer and a large hard drive of GB with a promotion agent last weekend. I can install a few systems. The preliminary plan is,
Install win2k3, Win2k, and Linux. Win2k is used for daily development (vs6 + vs2003.net + SQL Server), which requires stability and installation.
The fewer the software, the better. win2k3 is used to experience new things and entertainment in normal times. For Linux, hey, it's also an experience. By the way, we can catch up with the trend.
Partition planning is like this:
+ MBR
| ---- Primer1 boot_disk 1g NTFS
| ---- Primer2 linux_boot 70 m (Note: If ext3 is used, it must be greater than 65 m, and ext2 can be smaller)
| ---- Extend
|
| ----- Win2k3 15g
| ----- Win2k 10g
| ----- Linux_root 6g
| ----- Linux_home 3G
| ......

The above basically uses 25 GB space. Why is this plan? Take it easy.

1> Why do we plan primer1 to 1 GB?
First, I must be certain that my hard disk is relatively large. :) 1 GB reserved. If I need Win98 later, I can add it without re-partitioning. (Win98
It must be useful. For example, I think TRW is better than SoftICE, and there are still old games worth considering.) In addition, some CDs are started.
You need to write a temporary file to drive C during installation, but it is definitely uncomfortable to keep it small. (For example, Win2k) and some Linux/Unix do not have an engraved CD. If you want to install it from a hard disk
You have to copy Dongdong to drive C.
Second, it is not a waste to keep it. Although I only put several winnt loader files on drive C, it occupies 2 ~ 3 M. However, I can
Pagefile. sys is used for instant use.

2> Why do I put linux_boot in the Main Boot zone?
Obviously, I use more Windows platforms than Linux platforms and use winnt loader Than grub. I plan to install grub to/dev/hda2
Install winnt loader to MBR and use winnt loader to guide grub. In this way, I can use ghost to reinstall the Windows system at any time without having to worry about Linux.
Something about the system (there is something between the Linux system itself, and I don't need to do it as a ghost)

3> Why do I put linux_root and linux_home behind win2k3 and Win2k?
There are two advantages to putting all the system disks in front: 1> you do not need to configure the boot loader when adjusting the subsequent partitions; 2> when you adjust the subsequent partitions, there will be no
The path changes in the win system. In other words: Even if you don't want to play with Linux, okey will format linux_root and linux_home to FAT32.
As for okey, the previous win system is not affected.

4> will Windows system reinstallation affect the boot loader?
Yes. However, it is easy to recover.
For example, suppose you have installed win2k3 first and then Win2k. Okey. Now win2k3 cannot boot. (Boot Tool with win2k3
Can guide Win2k, Win2k boot cannot guide win2k3, backward compatible) What should I do? After Win2k is installed, use the win2k3 installation disc to start
Go to the repair console and run the following command:
Fixmbr (Press ENTER)
Fixboot (Press ENTER)
Copy the four boot file (ntdetect.com, ntldr, bootfont. Bin, Boot. INI) of the win2k3 to drive C.

5> will the reboot of Linux affect the boot loader?
No. During installation, remember to install the boot device to/dev/hda2 instead of MBR. Remember to make a Linux boot floppy disk. (If you have a Linux tool disk
Yes, it's better for new users)

6> How to Use winnt loader to manage Linux boot?
After installing Linux, use a floppy disk to boot to Linux and log on to the console as the root user. Enter the following command:

# Fdisk
Select L to check whether your linux_boot is in/dev/hda2, and then click Q to exit.

# Mkdir/mnt/tmpdisk
This command is used to mount the C drive.

# Mount-T vfat/dev/hda1/mnt/tmpdisk
Okey: Mount drive C to/mnt/tmpdisk

# Dd If =/dev/hda2 of =/mnt/tmpdisk/linboot. Bin BS = 512 COUNT = 1
Okay. Write the first sector of/dev/hda2 to the linboot. binfile of drive C. This is a binary file and the file name is arbitrary.

Restart the machine and enter the win platform. Add
C:/linboot. bin = "My Linux system, ha ha! "

Okey, all done.

7> what do I need to back up when installing the system?
I usually create a sys. Bak directory in the last partition of the hard disk to classify and place the system configuration files and backup files.
First, the ghost of each system is required (after the driver is installed and various patches are installed; do not install software );
Secondly, the four Boot Tool files (ntdetect.com, ntldr, bootfont. bin, and boot. INI) of the win platform should be backed up by version.
Again, the Linux boot file generated above is also backed up, saving it for later use.

 
Haha, I'm pulling it here today.
