Win2k can be installed to or booted from any partition or even any drive on your system. I have used and unstalled it thus. I have even moved the drive to another system and Grub was able to pick up boot both the Win2K and Win98 partitions. The problem is that for whatever reason the NT bootloader can be as fickle as win itself. 9 out of 10 times no problem occurs but on the 10th ntloader.exe is damaged or not able to be properly transfered. The best option If lilo is being used And lilo has been installed Only once is to run /sbin/lilo -u to restore the 2K bootloader. If 2k will now auto boot without problem, use the floppy to boot linux and reinstall lilo. Charles
