linux on 2nd but i did not want to install lilo in the mbr and opted fer
1st sector of boot partition but dunt
like to boot from the floppy as it gets corrupted every now and then my
query is...

on the 2nd hdd also with with win on my 1st hdd i cannot activate the
boot partition of my 2nd hdd
as fdisk doesnt allow me to so...

can i install both linux and win on my 1 hdd and keep the 2nd one fer a
empty dos partion ...can this way  will i be able to select the boot
partition on my 1 hdd or activate the windows partition or the linux
partition whichever one i want to....

after LI.. i heard this means that my 1st stage boot loader has loaded
and has also called the 2nd stage boat loader but has failed to execute
this ..but how do i solve this problem...
