Thats odd, the MBR for a dual boot? I do not usually don't do it that way.
Its safer to use dd and copy the /boot directory into a file then move that file to the windows partition and configure your boot.ini file to have NTLDR load it. Putting it resident in the MBR can lead to nonworking Windows XP and Windows 2003 server installations. You should also keep the leading meg or so of the hard drive free. Lilo should have a configuration file, which may be resident in boot (I don't remember at the moment). So you would update the file then you would run dd. Changing the Lilo file can be confusing for folks new to it. Be sure to read up on it. You can find out more by doing a search with google. Try "dd Windows XP linux " etc. On 7/28/05, Daithi Htun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Friends, I'm running Mandrake/Windows dual boot with LILO in graphic > mode.
