boot.ini file

hello, i need to dual boot Windows 2000 professional and Slackware 8.0. I would open boot.ini and add a line for slackware, but that file doesn't exist in Windows 2000. so how would I use the Windows OS loader to boot to slackware?

[boblucci]

in windows explorer go to view > folder options > select "show all files" and it will be in the C:\ drive

oh i did that already, still don't see it

[praetorian]

C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System maybe. ???

well i searched the hard drive and did not find it

You also need to uncheck "Hide Protected Operating System Files (recommended) option. It's a few lines down from "Show hidden files and folders" radio button.

HTH...

C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System maybe. *???

Never. It's always at root file system C:\.

I started linux and it also did not see it.

ok nevermind, there was some confusion with partitions and such
