This is a problem of old BIOSes coupled with old LILO (the infamous 1024-voodoo).In case you do NOT want to disturb the NT setup, you cannot dual-boot from HDD with LILO. You can however, dual boot from: a) boot.ini through Win-NT boot process. For details you may like to have a look at: http://geocities.com/usmbish/hdi.html b) Using alternate boot loaders like grub.
