Re: formatting a disk with dd - windoze

[Alvin Oga <aoga@Mail.Linux-Consulting.com>]

hi ya

make sure you install windoze as C:  ( /dev/hda1 )
( 2Gb for windoze is plenty ??

try fdisk /MBR too .... so that windoze thinks there's
nothing there... but if you do that..make sure youhave
a working boot floppy first

and linux on the rest of the disk partions...

have fun
