What Linux are you running?
Also, how are you installing Win2K or WinXP? Do you have
enough disk space to run both Linux and XP????
One rule of thumb that has been with Linux ever since Win9x
came out, was to install windows first, cause it is such a baby
and spits the dummy when it finds another OS in the Master
Boot Record. So then you install Windows, then run your installation
of Linux. Since it is a fairly old machine, try to copy the setup
folder (on the WinXP CD its /i386 ) to the HD and run setup from
there. Remember to allow about (I know how heavily this has
been debated in Linux circles, ....) twice as much swap space
as you have RAM.
Tell us the outcome of your work!
