I have configured a Thinkpad 701C with Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (service
pack 3) as well as RedHat Linux 5.2.
The machine has a 4 gig disk partitioned to include four partitions. The
first partition is a smallish Linux partition and includes /boot. The
second partition is an NTFS partition with a bit less than 2 Gig that
contains NT. The third partition is a similarly sized Linux partition that
contains the balance of the Linux file system. The fourth partition is a
Linux swap partition.
The partitions were created with the current version of Partition Magic.
The NTFS seems OK to NT's Disk Administrator tool. The Linux partitions
don't seem to be problematic either.
I use the NT loader with an entry for Linux. LILO is installed on the
partition containing /boot.
On several occasions I have gotten an error about corrupt or missing files
(NTOSLDR perhaps?) when booting the system. The NT Emergency Repair Disk
cures the problem. I can't replicate the error. The system has been shut
down normally, either from Linux or NT, in each instance.
Has anyone run into this problem before? Any clues?
