Support knowledgebase (nt)
Applicable to
All SuSE versions
Windows NT version: 3.51, 4.0

First possibility: Use NT's Boot Manager

It is able to start boot sectors as well as their copies. A coexistence of Linux and WinNT can be achieved with the following steps:

Second Possibility: Use LILO

Install LILO into the MBR and make NT believe it is DOS. The article nt2.html has more information.

The partition types 82 and 83

Warning: NT 3.5* and NT 4.0 do not know the partition types 82 and 83 used by Linux. Ensure that no NT program "repairs" the partition table. This might lead to a complete loss of data!
