Hi Branko, thanks for your help. I indicate the partition explicitely now in lilo.conf. the relevant part is: other=/dev/hda1 label="WinXP(hda1)" change partition=/dev/hda1 activate set=NTFS_normal partition=/dev/hda2 deactivate set=FAT32_lba_normal this seems to work fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
