What happens when the computer boots is that it looks first at the MBR--if there's something there, it boots using that. So if you leave the MBR unmodified, only Windows XP will be there, and although Lindows /is/ on your other partition, you'll never be able to boot to it--unless you use a floppy boot disk or a rescue CD.
Is that what you want? Also, does LILO give you the option of booting either Windows XP or Lindows? The only way I could see LILO being a problem is if it only gives you the option of Lindows--then you're in the other boat. You have Windows XP on your first partition, but you'll never be able to boot to it, unless you use a floppy boot disk or a rescue CD. ~ Ross On Sun, 28 Sep 2003, Honjo wrote: > I have Windows XP installed in the first primary partition and wanted to > install Lindows in the second primary partition.
