Hi, Until recently I have had Win2K on a 30Gb disk (primary master) and RedHat linux on a 3Gb disk (secondary master) with a CDROM drive as the secondary slave. I have been dual booting using the NT Loader, with LILO installed in the boot sector of the 3Gb disk, not the mbr. Then I installed a CDRW drive which recommended setting it as the secondary master. So I made the 3Gb disk the secondary slave. Trying to boot linux didn't get anywhere (can't remember the error messages). I ran the RedHat installer again to setup LILO thinking it would work after that. At the end of the installation I got a warning about /dev/hdd 'may not be accessible'. Then when trying to boot linux, LILO gives a repeated "0101010101010101...." on the screen. However I CAN boot into linux using the boot floppy disk created during the install. I copied the boot sector like this; dd if=/dev/hdd1 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 And then put bootsect.lnx in C:\ for the NT Loader, as I had done originally when the 3Gb disk was hdc1. But still the same "010101...". Is it possible to boot linux off the secondary slave disk? I assume so since I can from the floppy. What am I doing wrong? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
