Re: Can Windows95 cause error on my Linux Drive.
Windows and Linux can co-exist on the same disk drive without
problems. I have windows 95 and debian on different partitions of the
same disk. Windows / dos will ignore partition types 81, 82 ,83 etc.
What you need to do is to first partition the virgin disk under
windows (leaving room for linux!) then add your linux partitions using
linux fdisk. The reason is to insure that MS fdisk doesn't do the job
wrong and grab part of the linux partitions. (I have heard that MS
fdisk can try to make partitions not using whole number of cylinders
while linux fdisk always rounds up to a whole cylinder.) Also
installing windows first allows you to set up lilo to use the MBA and
boot windows as the second (or first) choice. (Seems weird having
lilo boot windows by default, but I have done this!).
