installing nt server after workstation & linux

deRanged · 2000-08-24 14:58:00

I've a pc with nt workstation and linux installed. I'm using lilo as the boot manager. Now I need to add nt server on as well. Am I likely to run into problems with boot managers? Is it safe just to create and format a new partition for server and just install away? I don't want to lose either the linux or workstation…

It safe. You cannt lose those partitions unless you do something really silly. Just dont delete them, or touch them in anyway. Make a rescue disk for linux first tho, so you can boot into it and reinstall lilo if you lose your boot partition, which isnt entirely unlikely. Then lilo can boot all 3. Or can nt loader not boot them?
