support  Examples     Read the documentation first for operating system specific tips.     Plan the partitioning scheme you want (types, sizes).     Every step in the examples indicates a system reboot.     Create a utility floppy: a bootable DOS system floppy with efdisk.exe, mrbooter.exe, fdisk.exe and format.com on it. If you want to install DOS or WinNT 4.0 in a partition which begins above 2 gigabytes, you'll need dosfix.com (for DOS) or ntfix.com (for NT4.0) too. For more information about these two utilities, click here.     Be sure you have the boot floppy/CD of the operating systems you want to install.     Example 1: Two Win9x/ME/2000/XP systems on one harddisk 1. Boot with the utility floppy. Run 'efdisk /mbr, then run 'efdisk'. Delete all existing partitions if there are any. If you have a harddisk which is smaller than 8 gigabytes, then create two FAT32 (type 'b') partitions, else create FAT32x (type 'c') partitions. Set the first partition active and save the changes. 2. Boot with the floppy/CD of the first Win9x/ME/2000 system. Format c: and d:, then install the first system to c: 3. When ready, boot with the utlity floppy, set the second partition active using efdisk and save the changes. 4. Boot with the floppy/CD of the second Win9x/ME/2000 system and install it to c: 5. When ready, boot with the utility floppy and install MasterBooter.     Example 2: Win2000 on a master harddisk and Win9x/ME on a slave harddisk 1. Boot with the utility floppy. Run 'fdisk /mbr, then run 'fdisk'. Delete all existing partitions from both harddisks if there are any. Create one primary partition on both harddisks. Set the partition on the first harddisk active and save the changes. 2. Boot with the floppy/CD of the Win2000 system. Format c: and d:, then install Win2000 to c: 3. When ready, reboot and enter the BIOS setup. Disable the first harddisk (which has Win2000 installed). Save the changes. 4. Boot with the utility floppy. Run 'fdisk /mbr', then 'fdisk'. Set the partition active and save the changes. 5. Boot with the floppy/CD of the Win9x/ME system and install it to c: 6. When ready, enter the BIOS setup and enable the first harddisk. Save the changes. 7. Boot with the utility floppy and install MasterBooter. If Win2000 didn't convert its partition to NTFS during installation, then you must hide Win2000 from Win9x/ME by setting the Win9x/ME FAT hiding map to '10'.     Example 3: DOS, Win9x/ME/2000 and Linux on one harddisk 1. Boot with the utility floppy. Run 'efdisk /mbr, then run 'efdisk'. Delete all existing partitions if there are any. Create a BIGDOS partition for DOS (max 2 gigabytes) and a FAT32 for Win9x/ME/2000. Be sure to leave enough unpartitioned space for Linux. Set the first partition active and save the changes. 2. Boot with the utility floppy. Run fdisk and create an extended partition using all remaining space. When ready, create three logical drives. The first should be twice as large as the size of RAM in your computer (this logical drive will be the Linux swap partition). The second will be the native Linux partition (1 gigabyte at least). The third should occupy the remaining space. 3. Boot with the DOS system floppy, format c: and install DOS there. 4. Boot with the utility floppy. Run 'efdisk', hide the BIGDOS partition and set the FAT32 partition active. Save the changes. 5. Boot with the system floppy/CD of Win9x/ME/2000 and format c:, d:, e: and f:. Install the system to c:. 6. When ready, boot with the system floppy/CD of Linux. During Linux installation, set the swap partition to /dev/hda5 and the Linux root partition to /dev/hda6. Don't touch other partitions. Be sure to install LILO in /dev/hda6. Note that /dev/hda means the primary master IDE harddisk, so if your harddisk is connected as an other device or it is an SCSI device, then this can be something else. 7. When ready, boot with the utility floppy and install MasterBooter.
