Hi,
I have a problem loading Win2K with Lilo.
I have installed Win2k and Red hat 6.0 on the same
machine. The comp. used to be used by both me and my
partner, which knows only MSOffice, and to make things
easier for her I had removed Lilo by using fdisk /MBR.
So whenever I'm using the comp. I use a boot disk to
get my beloved RedHat and all she has to do to get her
Win2k is to turn the comp. on.
Now, since she is not using the comp anymore I wont
Lilo to boot my RedHat and Win2k partitions.
Running /sbin/lilo I got a message "Partision Entry
Not Found" and lilo installed only after removing the
table=/dev/hda1 from linux.conf.
after rebooting lilo gave me 3 options (which is ok)
linux, 2.2.17-2 and Windows. loading linix and
2.2.17-2 works fine but typing Windows at the lilo
prompt is ignored. I just get the lilo prompt again.
uninstaling lilo usinf fdisk /MBR dose not work any
more only lilo -u works and then Win2k loads with no
problems.
Can u help me identify the problem here ?
Can I make shore that lilo is able to load my other op
systems before overwriting the MBR ?
---------- my lilo.conf ---------
boot=/dev/hda
delay=50
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label=linux
root=/dev/hdb1
read-only
image=/boot/bzImage-2.2.17-2
label=2.2.17-2
root=/dev/hdb1
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=Windows
table=/dev/hda1
---------------------------------
Thanks
Erez
