fdisk /mbr does not work on win2k, ifdisk /mbr works greatf I remember correctly, you'd have to reinstall the ntloader files. It's been a long time since I've dual booted, so I don't remember exactly. When you install a linux system, don't let lilo be installed to the mbr - you'll probably have to do a custom / expert install to avoid this - again, I don't remember for sure. After you've installed your systems, then use the nt loader to load linux. I have always had problems with m$ systems running continually, so much so, that I created ghost images as soon as my system was loaded with everything I needed, then when windows blew a fuse, I just reloaded everything from the ghost images. I don't believe that linux had anything to do with it - windows does the same thing when on a disk by itself! MikeYou mean "fdisk /mbr" right?? That will over write your boot sector. But rember you will need to reinstall Lilo, so you will need to have a rescue disk ready. :^) Ralph On Wednesday 02 July 2003 12:53 pm, Adrian Golumbovici wrote:Hi everyone, Before you flame me for using Windows 2000 Pro :) , I am a gamer and since my favourite games don't exist for linux, I have to dualboot. I already installed Mandrake 3 times on this machine :) after managing to thrash my linux severely when my mobo was not yet supported and I have same funny effect each time. Windows 2000 boots ok till before the login screen and then it stays there aparently doing nothing for almost 2 minutes... It is annoying. After I do a repair installation of windows 2000 it works ok again till next time I recompile the kernel and install it. Same thing happened to me when I tried to install debian on this machine. So I am starting to beleive it is linux/lilo related. I started letting my system permanently on just to avoid the annoying effect, but don't think this is a good longterm solution. Another funny thing is that a "repair" install of win2k doesn't remove lilo. I wanted to clean up my system at one point to move linux to a new hdd, but lilo remained. Trying a format /mbr didn't do anything. Does anyone know how to remove lilo and let the previous OS boot normally? Best regards, AdrianWant to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
