do you still want to keep your linux partition? if not, re-format the whole drive. win2k setup should do it automagically for you. all you have to do is tell it what to kill. i've never used win2k's fdisk (if it has one) so i can't really give you an informed answer. however,. as with anything that has windows on it, your best bet is still to wipe the whole damn thing and reinstall. this ensures that windows will feel safe and actually run nice (for the first few minutes, anyway...) should you wish to keep your existing win2k partition, i suggest trying partition magic, or doing a little research into win2k and it's partitioning programs. if it DOES have a command line fdisk, AND it accepts "/MBR" as an option, do it. it should work, so long as win2K is on the first partition (if it's on any other partition, i can't gauranty anything...) if you still want your linux partition, you need to edit "etc/lilo.conf", make sure it doesn't prompt, and set the win2k partition as default. this now means that you can never boot to linux again (i think, others may have more info for you...) but it is still THERE. i have win2k and linux living happily on the same box (well, they live happily if windows can't see linux, which is the case...) and haven't had any problems with Lilo (so far...). > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Hudson [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 9:33 AM > To: EUGLUG > Subject: [EUG-LUG:973] Linux & win2k > > Is there anything different with LILO and Windows 2000 than with > Windows 98? > > I need to reset the MBR so that it doesn't see the LILO and goes > straight to windows.
