Go back into 9.2 which has installed the lilo in MBR. Login as root into a terminal (by typing 'su' and giving the root password in the next line). 1. Type 'lilo -u' which removes lilo from the MBR. 2. Type 'lilo -b /dev/hda5' if your root partition of 9.2 is on hda5. Reboot with your CD1 of 9.1. At the Welcome screen type F1. At the prompt type 'rescue'. The installer starts but switches to rescue mode soon. Choose the first option "Re-install LILO in MBR" or similar. It looks for a Mandrake 9.1 installation and hopefully finds yours. After that you can start again from 9.1 and choose a way to integrate 9.2 into your 9.1 LILO. I had to do this today (because of carelessness) and it worked. wobo wobo
