maybe this can help, i already tried this several times.
disk 1(pri master) - hda - mandrake(or any linux distro)
disk 2(sec master) - hdc - win2K(or any WinXX)
mandrake w/ lilo handles the booting. when switch to win2K, i have a command in lilo
that will switch the drive id of the two, meaning mandrake will be hdc and win2K will
be hda.
/etc/lilo.conf
==============
prompt
timeout=15
default=Win2K
boot=/dev/hda1
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
other=/dev/hdc1
label=Win2K
map-drive=0x81
to=0x80
map-drive=0x80
to=0x81
map-drive is the magic word here!
note:
1. put 1 hard disk, setup as pri master, install mandrake. make it work.
2. then remove the hard disk(installed mandrake), put the other hard disk, set as pri
master and install win2K. make it work.
3. then set it up as follows:
- pri master(hda) - mandrake
- sec master(hdc) - win2K
4. copy the lilo.conf above, and rerun lilo.
IMPORTANT: make sure if you will resintall your Win2K, you detach your Mandrake or
else...
i even tried this one with
hda = WinMe + Redhat v7.2,
hdc = Win2K.

Good day!
Additional lang din, I think this is related.
Before, I also tried dual booting with Windows ME. My first disk (/dev/hda)
contained Windows and I placed my Red Hat Linux 7.2 on my second disk
(/dev/hdb). The installation went fine, but when I rebooted, I encountered
the same problem: the LI prompt.
I tried re-installing but the same problem resulted. BTW, this is how I
partitioned my /dev/hdb:
/dev/hdb1 = /boot
/dev/hdb2 = swap
/dev/hdb3 = /home
/dev/hdb4 = /
What I did was to switch my disks in terms of connection to the motherboard (
hda became hdb, hdb became hda). I re-installed and things worked out fine.
Yun nga lang, I wasn't able to boot up my Windows any more. So I removed it
entirely =)
But still, I wasn't able to fix it properly, right? =)
Nyek!
