it's win98 that doesn't want to boot, i think because it _has_ to be on the first harddrive... i have a similar setuop and had problems too, what you have to do is re-map the win HD so windows thinks it's on the primary master. modify /etc/lilo.conf as follows: > #Win98 > other=/dev/hdd1 > label=Win98 map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 map-drive=0x81 to=0x80 > table=/dev/hdd that should solve the problem alberto
