Hi everyone I'm a newbie, firmly entrenched in the Microsoft way (but not liking it) so looking to alternatives. I have installed Mandrake 9 and love it, but am having a few difficulties. Re LILO, here's my problem: 1. installed Win2K on hda1 2. installed Linux in hdb1 3. LILO worked fine 4. reinstalled Linux on hdb1 5. LILO didn't work any more, and trashed my MBR so couldn't boot into Windows. 6. Reinstalled Win2k 7. No LILO! I haven't been able to get LILO installed and working since - at the moment I don't get a LILO prompt, my computer boots straight into windows unless I boot from a floppy, but this is a pain as I need to eject it every time I want to boot into Windows. My disks are arranged thus: hda1 (one partition) => windows, bootable; hdb1 (default partitions courtesy of Linux) => Mandrake 9, also bootable. I'm attempting to install LILO on hdb1, with Linux as the default OS. I've followed all the advice I can find on the net, and still can't seem to get it working, so I'm missing something pretty obvious. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction... Thanks in advance
