Okay, here's a stumper for everyone (at least it is for me):
My system is homemade with an Athlon 600, 17GB Maxtor HD (C:), 15GB Maxtor
HD (D:), 30 GB WD HD (on a SIIG IDE card), CD-ROM and a TEAC burner. ATI
Rage Fury and SB Live. 320 Mb RAM. Running Me primarily.
I cleared off my D: drive for Redhat 7.1, no LILO - boot disk instead. When
I did this the first time, I couldn't boot into Windows (BSOD, Windows
Protection Error, restart computer). Couldn't go into safe mode, but
startup disk would get me to command prompt. I ended up reinstalling Me
which fixed whatever was wrong, and bagged Linux on D:.
So, this time, I unplugged my C: drive and reinstalled Redhat 7.1 on my D:
drive. Went fine except for email and news (topic for another message). I
booted from floppy a couple of times and worked fine. I plugged my C: drive
back in booted up. Same thing -- BSOD, same message as above. Don't
understand this at all. I powered down and booted into Linux to make
sure -- no problem. I unplugged D: drive (Linux) and booted up. Went into
safe mode, restarted and Me booted back up. I don't see physically
connecting/disconnecting drives as a viable "dual-boot" system. Any
help/thoughts/solutions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
