LILO needs BIOS-level access to hdc3. Perhaps this doesn't work on that system. Does /sbin/lilo give any warnings when you run it? I suggest that you get BOOTPART, and let the NT boot manager run first. When you pick Linux from the boot menu, the boot sector stuff installed by BOOTPART will let you boot Linux. I have Debian on hdb5 here and I use the NT loader first. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
