Re: Lilo and himem.sys
Hello again! I refer the answers Ive gotten benath. Thank you for the answers. Eric was right, that worked! Great! But I hav a problem with the io.sys: I cant access it. Perhaps Frank, or someone else, does know what the problems really is: I tried attrib -h io.sys when I was c:\. But became the message: The file is not changed (or similar). Hope the debian-users dont mind my small backtrip into Windows; but its really connected.

XXX I had this problem on my Sony Vaio... try turning the power completely off after you shut down linux and before you boot up windows.. worked for me :) Eric XXX uh .. reminds me of something .. just a shot in the dark here.

If you are sure that your Windows filesystem integrity is not corrupted, no files are missing and the boot process stops unexpectedly with a charming "C:\>" - check the following.. your msdos.sys file should look similar to this: (..)

Lilo doesn't do this by default. If you are just dual booting with Debian (no other OS's involved), it should suffice to just set it active once with Win9X fdisk or whatever - and it will stay that way. You can also configure Lilo to do it when you boot to windows. Check the Lilo documentation for the correct syntax. Tom
