What I meant was that perhaps his LILO configuration is messed up and isn't giving him the option of choosing between the two operating systems. Then his computer would boot into LILO and only give him the Lindows option, thus making his Windows partition inaccessible. This is the only way I can make sense of his message.
If LILO were, in fact, correctly configured and were displaying both as options to boot from, then I don't understand his wanting to "install LILO where wanted". My apologies for being confusingly ambiguous :-) I wasn't questioning LILO's abilities; rather I was asking him about his particular settings. ~ Ross On Sun, 28 Sep 2003, Michael Torrie wrote: > On Sun, 2003-09-28 at 09:23, Ross Werner wrote: > > <snip> > > Also, does LILO give you the option of booting either Windows XP or > > Lindows?
