| | Dual-Boot Blues |
| | After creating a dual boot of windows 2000 on drive C: and windows 98 on drive E:, I find that the windows 98 bootup is looking for the necessary windows files on drive F:. | | | Setting up a dual boot is usually a benign procedure, but in some cases you might wind up with a system that doesn't start properly. | | | But unless you're creating a dual boot from scratch, you need to back up your data files and make sure you have the required diagnostic and recovery disks. |

| | Boot Linux from a FireWire device |
| | You should now be able to boot using the floppy: it will load the kernel from the floppy, load the initrd image into RAM, wait for the root device to be recognized, and then continue to boot as normal from there. | | | If we are attempting to boot from a very small device, such as a floppy disk, the best approach is to build a kernel with just enough drivers built in to allow us to mount the root external file system-- and build everything else as modules. | | | Boot loaders are usually installed in the MBR of the first hard disk in the machine. |

| | The Old New Thing : Why does Windows setup lay down a new boot sector? |
| | Also a dual boot does not allow you to have both the operating environments up and running at the same time to share files etc. between the two environments. | | | There's a difference between the boot sector (first 512 bytes of the OS's partition) and the master boot record (first 512 bytes of the disk that the BIOS boots to). | | | Asking users o overwrite the boot sector is not worse than asking users if they need to reformat a partition. |

| | WINDOWS XP BOOT PROCESS |
| | IMPORTANT: Ntldr must be located in root folder of the active partition along with Ntdetect.com, boot.ini, bootsect.dos (for dual booting) and Ntbootdd.sys (needed with some SCSI adapters). | | | The BIOS then reads the MBR (Master Boot Record) which is in the first sector of the first hard disk and transfers control to the code in the MBR which is created by the XP Setup. | | | The first role of Ntldr is to allow full memory addressing, start the file system, read boot.ini and put up the boot menu. |

| | Desktop Boards - Single / Dual Channel Memory Modes |
| | For three-DIMM dual channel mode, the DIMMs in Channel A must match and the DIMM in Channel B (either slot) must be equal in capacity to all of Channel A. While probably not common, this scenario is likely if you upgrade the memory on your system. | | | Dual Channel memory configurations will provide increased performance over Single Channel configurations. | | | This means that with the DIMMs that are currently installed, the computer is set to single channel mode but, in fact, is capable of dual channel mode. If you shut down and rearrange the DIMMs properly, you'll achieve dual channel mode. |

| | When dealing with creating a dual boot system on a single hard disk and working with repartitioning, IT IS IMPERATIVE that you understand what you are doing. | | | But I'd like to add that you will still need to change the boot sequence in bios to get the RH Linux installer to run from Disk 1 of the RH set. | | | Ensure that no floppies are in the floppy drive and ensure that the CDROM entry comes before the Hard Disk entry in bios, and you're set for installation. |
