Oke,
I understand how to fix it.
But can't i be done with the boot-only cd from Sarge.
I have used this one to download and install Sarge.
I want to use lilo instead of grub.
My system is almost the same as yours:
1e hdd Windows and Debian
2e hdd Debian
To boot on the first hdd I set the bios to: A C ...
with lilo is in the mbr of the first hdd but in your case you keep the
boot loader of windows.
To boot on the second hdd I set the bios to: D CDROM ... with such
lilo.conf:
lba32
disk=/dev/hdb
bios=0x80
boot=/dev/hdb
root=/dev/hdb1
# install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
bitmap=/usr/share/lilo/sid.bmp
bmp-colors=1,,0,2,,0
bmp-table=120p,173p,1,15,17
bmp-timer=254p,432p,1,0,0
install=bmp
# delay=1000
timeout=2000
# message=/boot/bootmess.txt
prompt
vga=normal
............................
............................
I run /sbin/lilo and so lilo is in the mbr of the second hdd.
This method is painful that I must set the bios to change from one hdd
to another, but in other hand if one hdd failed I can use the other.
hth.
