Are you installing linux on one hard disk and windows on another? Same disk and different partitions? The lilo documentation should have all the information you really need, but here are my suggestions. (All using Lilo) 2 hard drive setup: Install Linux on the primiary master hard drive, windows on the primiary slave. When booting windows have lilo remap the master to the slave and slave to master. When installing either OS, remove the other drive from the IDE cable to ensure you don't repartition the wrong drive. It's also handy if you have a cd-rom or floppy LILO boot options when running NTFS. With FAT copy the install files (i386 + driverlib for nt, winXX) to the harddrive and install from there. This is probally a bit advanced but you should only need to resort to a rescue disk in the most extreme cases. If you want the dead simple soultion put NT on the primiary master and Linux on the secondary. Have Linux and NT rescue disks hands at all times. :) 1 hard drive: Install Windows on the first primiary partition and linux on a different partiton (primiary or logical it doesn't matter...Linux will boot from anywhere.) Again, have Linux and NT rescue disks handy at all times. If you are on one disk, be careful what you do when you create your linux partitions. You could wack your NT partition very easily. Search the list archives for my lilo configurations, I know I've posted them before. :) -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055
