Windows will not boot from anything other than the master drive on the primary controller (hda). If you put the windows drive as hda and then install lilo on the MBR you will be able to dual boot. Change your lilo.conf as follows. boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 linear default=linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hdc5 other=/dev/hda1 label=win Larry -----Original Message----- From: jhallgren at hl137-192-64-86.Hyperlink.Onvoy.com [mailto:jhallgren at hl137-192-64-86.Hyperlink.Onvoy.com]On Behalf Of Jeff Hallgren Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2000 6:23 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG:20355] have disk with win95 Partial success.. I got the drives all switched around and everything appears correct. Redhats hardware detection "Kudzu" is pretty nice and works well. It noticed everything I did and allowed me to change config easily. I now have an hdc that I can mount and browse under linux but I can't boot from it. There must be something wrong with the boot record? My lilo.conf boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 linear default=linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hda5 other=/dev/hdc1 label=win When I type "win" at the lilo prompt I get only: Invalid system disk Replace the disk, and then press any key Which seems like a pretty standard windows message Any suggestions?
