[NTLUG:Discuss] ... stuggling with partitioning for dual boot ...

[Bug Hunter]

  /dev/hda1 (primary)  drive c
  /dev/hda2 (primary)  drive d
  /dev/hda3 (primary)  /boot
  /dev/hda4 (holds extended partition)
  /dev/hda5  (extended)   root
  /dev/hda6  (swap)
  /dev/hda7  (home)

  IF you use LILO, it might not work.  If you use GRUB, it will most
probably work.  LILO _still_ has problems if your cylinder number is
over 1023.
  
  You may get away with the following scheme using LILO:

  /dev/hda1 (primary)  /boot
  /dev/hda2 (primary)  drive c
  /dev/hda3 (primary)  drive d
  /dev/hda4 (holds extended partition)
  /dev/hda5  (extended)   root
  /dev/hda6  (swap)
  /dev/hda7  (home)

  I've seen Windows work with this, and I've seen Windows fail with this.
