Hey Rajesh,
Just because U have Ontrack on your MBR should not stop U from
having fun with LILO. U can always install LILO on your boot-partition and
make it your active partition (using fdisk - since U have windoze). Add an
entry for windoze to lilo.conf, run lilo and ensoy...
Also IMHO, this has always been a better option than installing LILO on
MBR as there are no problems when reinstalling windoze etc - windoze just
rewrites your MBR and makes itself the active partition, so after
installing win all I've to do is run fdisk and make the Linux partition as
the active partition and voila - nothing has changed. No problems with
booting off floppy etc... LILO continues to handle your win partition even
if the size etc has changed as long as the device name (/dev/hda1 etc)
stays the same.
HTH ... Narain.
ps. I have the same configuration on my m/c - ontrack etc. If U need my
lilo.conf (with entries for both linux and windoze) - mail me offline.

Since my Hard Disk(17GB) is not recognised by bios, I have to use Ontrack
O/S from Seagate. So the first thing that gets loaded is Ontrack O/S and
than my HDD is recognised as 17GB. Due to this I am unable to use Lilo and
now booting linux using Loadlin. Is there any way I can do the stuff you
have told using Loadlin ?
