Hi Holly, thanks for your reply
Basically my question here is why exactly did you install the bootloader
to hdb instead of hda?
I installed to hdb as I only have 1 NTFS partition on /dev/hda and don't
want to muck around with my XP install as my family will kill me if I muck
it up ...
Do

So far I've tried to fix it by removing
substituting lba32 / compact / linear from /etc/lilo.conf (yes I /sbin/lilo
and recreate the linux.bin file for the XP bootloader). The drive is a 200MB
Seagate.
I'm not a LILO kinda guy, but a 200 MB drive was more than likely

I suppose I could use partition magic to create /boot on
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Here's what always works for me on a dual boot
linux/xp box w/ xp on hda and linux on hdb and lilo
doing boot duties:
Prepare lilo.conf as if it knows nothing about xp,
comment all the windows stuff out and install lilo to
hdb1. Next, mount a floppy and
