Hi!
I have widows 2000 server with service pack 3, and linux
7.3 on single hard drive. Linux loader(LILO) write on
Linux's partition boot record. Now I want to active
Linux's partition but when I right click on Linux's
partition there is no active partition option. Can you
help me?
Thanks

Is the disk Basic or Dynamic? Is the Linux partition a primary partition,
or a logical drive?

Best regards

Make a cp of your linux boot sector and put it in your
Windows C:\, edit boot.ini to add an entry of this file.
As long as you didn't overwrite your MBR on install your
ok.
 
My disk is basic & Linux partition is logical drive.
I am waiting for your reply.
Thanks.

Only primary partitions can be made active. Unfortunately, my knowledge of
the Linux boot process is too limited to solve your problem. Perhaps a
Linux boot diskette might help you.

Best regards
