Double hard drive four system installation full power
Describes how to install Win98, Win2000, WinXP, and Fedora Core 2 Linux in a dual-hard drive.
Require tool: Win98 installation CD, Win2000 installation CD, WinXP installation CD
Hardware Model: Motherboard: ASUS P4B533-X Main Database: Mai Tuo (Gold Diamond) 80g from Pan: Seagate 10g
1. Install the double hard drive: set the primary disk jumper, in the 80G hard disk of Mai Tuo, the CS pin is set on the jumper cap: Mai Tuo 80G hard drive's jumper area has a total of five pins, shaped as follows:
■ ■ ■ □ ■■ ■ ■ ■ ■ PL CS Cl
The first column PL: set to the primary disk second column CS: Allow the motherboard to determine the primary disk and slave disk according to the main slave disc of the hard disk data line. The third column Cl: It is compatible with some outdated old motherboard to connect the dual-hard drive, but as a cost of the hard disk will be available for only 32G capacity. 2. Connect the double hard drive: (1) Connect the optical drive to the secondary IDE slot of the motherboard. (2) Prepare another hard disk data line to connect the dual-hard drive. (3) One end of the blue data line on the main IDE slot of the motherboard. (4) Pick up one end of the data cable in the 80G hard drive. (5) Pick up one end of the gray in the middle of the data line on the Seagate 10G hard drive. (6) Even the main line from the disk. 3, to the main partition: (1) Start the computer, use the Win2000 to install the disc boot system to enter the Win2000 installer. (2) In the Win2000 installer, re-partition the primary disk (Mai Tuo 80G hard drive): C: 2G is used to install WIN98D: 7.5G to install WIN2000E: 7.5g to install WinXPF: g: ...... (3) Delete all partitions from the disk. Please make a backup before your operation. (3) The partition is complete, press F3 to exit the installer. 4. Install Win98 (1) in C: Pan to start the computer, use the WIN98 to install the disc boot system to enter the Win98 installer. Attack the installer check and format your disk partition, if you encounter an error message, it is normal. Please restart and run the installer again. (2) The installer will guide you in the C: disk installed WIN98 (3) Special reminder: You must re-partition the primary disk with the Win2000 installation disk before running the Win98 installer. Otherwise, two types of errors will be generated: If you are pre-installed in the primary disk, Win98 installer will prompt you to delete an operating system and partition table that is incompatible with MS-DOS, which will create unnecessary trouble. And cause the installation to fail; if there is no preset partition in the primary disk, the WIN98 installer automatically formats the 80G hard drive as a C: disk and installed. Therefore, you must re-partition the primary disk with the Win2000 installation disc before running the Win98 installer. 5. Install Win2000 (1) in D: Put to start the computer, use the WIN2000 to install the disc boot system to enter the Win2000 installer. The installer will boot you in the D: disk to install Win2000.6, in the E: WinXP installed in the disc is similar. 7, download PQMagic, Fedora Core 2 Linux. (1) Start the computer, you will see the system startup menu generated automatically generated WIN98 / 2000 / XP. Select to enter WinXP. (2) Format F: disk, the file system is selected as FAT32. (2) Start the network connection, open www.onlinedown.net (Huajun Software Park), download PQMagic 6.0 (Disk Partition Magician), install it in a FAT32 partition in the system, here is selected as F: disk. Form a directory of F: / CPQ6C. (3) Open Soft.269.NET (Ancient City Hotline - Software World - A Very Good Download Website), download and install Flashget 1.3.1 and WinRAR3.30 (4) Open ftp.linuxforum.net, find a hard disk mode Fedora Linux must have the following files: FC2-i386-disc1.isofc2-i386-disc2.isofc2-i386-disc3.isofc2-i386-disc4.iFC2-i386-rescuecd.isoloadlin.exe - Guide the tools necessary for the installer There is no attached ISO file in the FC2, so you must download separately, but you can also get from the installation ISO file of Redhat.
The above is a total of 2.2g of space. (5) Download the above file with the flashget single-thread (must single-thread! Otherwise waiting for a bitter fruit, haha). The so-called single thread is only one download connection at a time. In F: Newly built a Fedora directory in the disc stores down files. 8, ready to install Fedora Core 2 Linux. This is the highlight of this article. (1) Connect the slave power cord (2) to the Win98 installation CD boot system into the dos command. Type the following command: A:> CD D: (D: For the disk where the CPQ6C directory is located, the F: disk under WinXP, because the Win2000 and WinXP D:, E: two discs are NTFS format, not visible in DOS, So f: disk moved to the D: disk position) D: A:> D: D:> CD CPQ6CD: / CPQ6C> PQMAGIC launches PQMAGIC 6.0, doing the following: Creating a new primary partition in slave, capacity is 7400MB, The format is Linux Ext2. (Because the Linux partition is not visible under Windows, it is possible to avoid new logical partitions with the remaining space (must guarantee 2,200MB or more), format is FAT32. (The Fedora installation file used to store 2.2g is formatted in PQMAGIC. (3), restart the computer and enter WinXP. Copying F: The Fedora Configuration under the disc to the new FAT32 partition in the disk, assuming that the partition is m: / fedora catalog under WinXP. Enter the m: / fedora directory, use WinRAR to extract the ISOLINUX directory in FC2-I386-Disc1.iso (Fedora's first ISO file) to the m: / fedora / isolinux directory, will loadlin. EXE file is moved to this directory. After completing the above operation, there should be at least three files under the M: / Fedora / ISOLINUX directory: loadlin.exevmlinuzinitrd.img has these three files to boot the system into the Linux installer without the floppy drive. In the M: / Fedora / ISOLINUX directory, create a new autoboot.bat file, only one line: loadlin vmlinuz initrd = init.img ramdisk_size = 32000
Where ramdisk_size is the memory size, you can set it yourself. 9. Install Fedora Core 2 Linux. (1) shutdown. Unplug the power cord on the primary disk, the main disk data line can not move. (The power cord on the primary disc must be unplugged, so that GRUB is installed on / dev / hdb MBR, this is a vital action) (2) Start the computer, use the Win98 installation CD boot system to enter the DOS state, The input command is as follows: A:> CD C: (C: a:> C: C:> cd fedoac: / fedora> cd isolinuxc: / fedora / isolinux> autoboot ... · # ¥ # ¥ · # · ¥ · # ¥ # ... Welcome to the Fedora Core 2 Linux installer! (3) Installation procedure: Make sure that there is Win98 installation disc in the optical drive during the boot installer. I tried it several times, if there is no Win98 CD, installer I can't identify my display model. In the later process, I will not think about the trouble. Select Install language to select the installation media to select the ISO file location for the Hard Driver (hard disk): there should be only the following two partitions in this list. : (Because the power cord of the primary disc has been unplugged) / dev / hdb1 - Linux EXT2 primary partition / dev / hdb5 in pqmagic - stores the logical partition selection / dev / hdb5 with Fedora installation files, then below In the text box, type / fedora selecting the installation type, recommended for the workstation to select the partition method to automatically partition, and then select all Linux partitions "and" review in the next page "and" establish partitions as needed) ". Pick It's a GRUB option: It can be seen that GRUB is installed on the / dev / hdb MBR on / dev / hdb. (This is the most critical step, it is also the purpose of unplug the main disk power cord. GRUB will be installed on the / dev / hda MBR, which will likely lead to Win98 / 2000 / XP on the main disk that cannot be booted) Next to customize the package, there are several important software to fedora in the default state. Will not be installed: KDE desktop environment, a desktop environment comparable to WinXP, now being awkward; GFTP in the network tool, this is an FTP software under Linux; Linux kernel source package; ...... These require it to be customized. The following is the automatic installation of the package, with the number of packages you customized, usually 15 ~ 40 minutes.
