Hey all, hope this thread can go here.
Basically I'm trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Slackware Linux. I have 3 partitions: Windows 7, Slackware Linux, and a swap partition, in that order. I've installed the LiLO boot loader to the Slackware Linux Partition.
The problem is that when I make the Linux partition bootable (so I can use LiLO to choose between Win7/Linux) and then boot into Windows 7, it doesn't list Windows as an OS in the run > msconfig > boot tab. Basically Windows 7 loads up fine, but it doesn't see itself as an available OS. If I make the Windows 7 partition bootable then it DOES see itself under the boot tab, but then I can't boot into Linux.
You can see the difference below:
Windows 7 is bootable
Slackware Linux is bootable
I'm wondering if this might lead to future issues, that's why I want to fix it. Even if the system loads up just fine.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
