Hi,

How do i do to triple boot win2k, winme and redhat7.1?

I currently have Winme on c:\ and win2k on f:\ and the D:\ drive is shared between both OS:es.

I installed win2k on winme to get dualboot, how can i proceed?

After you're able to dual boot both Windows operating systems, install Linux last. If you're using the boot manager for Linux, it will allow you to choose between Windows / Linux.

When choosing Windows, it will disable the usual two options from your original dual boot.

If you're using Bootmagic, you can easily configure the system to include all operating systems in one menu, however I have heard many user problems in regards to bootmagic crashes and recovery.

That doesn't work for me. The Win2000 installation went corrupt after I installed LILO on MBR. So, I installed LILO on sector 0 of my bootdrive. How do I configure the win2000 bootloader to load LILO from there?
Editing boot.ini how?

Windows won't boot lilo because windows doesn't see your linux partition. Configure lilo to be your boot manager.
You will have to boot into your linux with your boot disk to be able to get to lilo.
