Thanks for the effort guys. When I took a look over my lilo.conf to post it I found the error. When I upgraded to RH 7 it reran lilo and renamed my windows handel from win to dos, but it didn't change the default boot to dos, thus there was no correct image for win when it attempted to load. Before that it it also had attempted to assign the "dos" handel to hda, a windows storage drive, since it was the first drive it encountered instead of the real win drive sda1. I had to remove hda from the system, boot from emergency floppy, and rerun lilo with a modified lilo.conf to reflect the name change. Then I had to slap my system back toghether and it worked! Thanks! Colin Kilbane
