It is very important to understand that windows will only boot from the first partition of the first drive. Inserting a new windows partition in front of your system drive is a bad idea. Since you have PartitionMagic you can probably undo it and put the new partition behind instead.

Hi,

I installed a new NTFS partition with Partition Magic on my dual boot PC, inserting it 
in front of
my C:\ drive (Win2000 Pro, FAT32), which  was moved over to make room.  Subsequently, 
LILO does not
boot windows, although Linux (Mandrake 8.2) has no problems.  Is it just a question of 
changing the
device name in the LILO.conf file, or is there something else that I haven't thought 
of?  Where
should I look in Mandrake?

med venlig hilsen / best regards
