Sorry, I never had to troubleshoot the thing. It always worked, unless I changed/recompiled the kernel and didn't update the bootsect.lnx file. Only ideas I have are: in your mail you are mentioning about copying the file named _bootsec.lnx_ and I believe we were talking about _bootsect.lnx_(note the t at the end of boosect).If I can assume that both the filename and the line in the boot.ini have the same name, the other thing is that my bootsect.lnx file has set system and read-only attributes (attrib +r +s command in NT). Other than that, I'm afraid I do not know what could be wrong. > BTW, I can now use lilo for branching to NT and linux, this works fine. > That is interesting. I was never able to do this. Maybe because my NT partition was NTFS.. damir
