excessum Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Ok, here is the scenario. I first have Red Hat Linux 9.0 running on my harddrive (40GB). Now I know that you have to have Linux installed before installing any Windows OS. So anyway, I already have Linux installed and now I am trying to install Windows 2000 Server on the same hard drive. After I create a new partition and press ENTER to install Windows on that partition it gives me this message saying "in order to install Windows 2000 on this partition it has to be a Windows 2000 compatible partition." I have been getting this message everytime I re-install Linux after totally cleaning my HD about 20+ times because of this. I have still yet to come up with a solution to this annoying problem. Has anyone else out there experienced this problem? Because I sure as hell don't know why it's being a pain in the a** about it since I HAVE done this before. -excessum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valter Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I think the correct way to install it would be the other way arround ... first Windows and then any other OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
