Now that we are back in windows the first thing to do is to copy the file bootsect.lnx of the floppy and onto C:\(or wherever your bootloader lives). Once you have copied the file you then need to edit your boot.ini file. If you can't see boot.ini on C:\ it may be beacuse you have set windows to hide system files, to make it appear do the following
- Windows NT: - Click on View->Folder Options and tick the checkbox that says Show All Files
- Windows 2000/XP: - Click on Tools->Folder Options->View click the radio button that says Show hidden files and folders and untick the Hide protected operating system files(recommended) checkbox
Now open boot.ini in notepad, on the last line add C:\bootsect.lnx="Linux", save the file. The next time you reboot you should see an option for Linux on your bootloader, if you select this you will boot into linux.
