Nothing happens. Your c: drive is intact. Your linux partition is intact. And BTW why did you copy boot sector of hdc1? I think it should be hdc3. You sure of this? > > Is there any way to cut paste lilo to my linux native partition? aisa kuchh naheen hotaa hain. I guess your lilo is already installed on boot sector of linux partition. That's good enough. > (Remember when my machine boots lilo appears first, I select 'dos' nt boot > loader appears, I select Linux lilo appears) So lilo is installed on MBR. Why then bootstrap it thr. NT loader and back to lilo? It's good as it is. No windows from NT familty ever touches MBR. > Is my lilo in one of the mbr? Yes. It's on MBR of what you call c drive ie. /dev/hda.
