I have a Sony VAIO sr-7k with Windows 2000. Can install under win2k, but I
have no floppy drive to boot from, so cannot run within Win2k. Have an
available partition, and can start to install off of the PCMCIA CD-ROM, but
the installer doesn’t seem to find it “Unable to Mount /fs/cd0…” Any way
I can install the CD-ROM installation media on the harddrive and have the
installer detect it? Other options?
thanks,
Dan
Hi Dan,
I know its possible, as one of the owners (Dan) has a VAIO, and he installed
QNX on it. Then again, he also coded the installer program 
I did see someone post up that they had figured out how to alter to boot
record of the Win2K system so that it would be able to do either QNX or
Windows.
Try looking at www.xosl.org and see if that helps. However I belive it requires
each OS to reside on their own partition.
There was a thread in: 354 of this news group titled 'Load QNX through Win2k
Bootmenu"

Hello, I’ve successfully used the Windows boot.ini to dual boot QNX RTP from
both NT and 2000, the instructions and software at
http://computing.net/howto/advanced/linuxnt/ walked me through it quite
nicely.

hope this helps.

[end clip]That is one of the ways. You have ability to disable any QNX boot loader in QNX (by selection "own
loader" during installation). Then you’ll have write boot sector of QNZ partition to the file:
Use this file in boot.ini. BTW, the same trick works in linux if you don’t wish to install lilo in
mbr (install lilo to linux partition then use “dd” to get boot sector of ext2 partition: lilo is in
a right place and you’ll have no dangerous manipulation with mbr).
I think the main problem is installation program 
. You could install QNX to laptop’s HDD on the
other computer.
Best regards,
Eduard.
I have the same problem. Please, let me know if you find a solution.
