Hi, I used to have Gentoo in /dev/hda2 Now I have Gentoo in /dev/hdb3 I have Windows XP in /dev/hda1
After telling the BIOS to start in my second HDD and using LILO to set hdb as my boot drive I can boot to my new Gentoo but I can't boot to Windows. What should I do in order to boot to Windows?
Thanks, Yuval Scharf
