Hi Nick,
lilo.conf :-
boot = /dev/hdb1
timeout = 50
prompt
vga = normal
read-only
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image = /boot/bzImage
label = linux
root = /dev/hdb1
read-only
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-22
label = linuxold
root = /dev/hdb1
read-only
other = /dev/hda1
label = Windows
table =/dev/hda1
The output from fdisk -l using Toms root boot disk
Disk /dev/hda: 255 hds, 63 sectors, 526 Cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device boot Start End Blocks

/dev/hdb2 601 620

/dev/hdb5 601 620

With the present configuration the PC boots straight into windows and I
can't boot up Linux.
maybe you or someone can put me right.
many thanks for your help.
