Like most of you, I like playing with opeating systems. I am having difficulty using lilo to boot Win2K from hdb. Here's my lilo.conf file. The trouble is that Windows wants to boot from C:, not D:. You can use lilo to remap the BIOS and fool it. My Windows drive is on hdc (hdb is my

I was successfully able to use the map-drive line in my lilo.conf to boot from hdb1 by remapping BIOS accesses to the disk. I however used the exact same hex values you did even though I'm booting windows from hdb1 not hdc1. I was under the impression (assumption) that the hex values would

I'm no BIOS expert, but I believe 0x80 is the primary master and 0x81 is the secondary master. My cdrom is a primary slave (i.e. it is physically connected to the primary master). I believe if I had connected my cdrom to the secondary master it would be a secondary slave. The secondary master

Tom You're right about the linux device structure regarding physical disks. I however am using the same map-drive lines in my lilo.conf as you are, except I am booting windows from the primary slave (hdb1). Why is it that the same map-drive lines work for both you and I even though we are booting
