I'm using Windows XP Boot Manager to select which OS to boot. [I want Mandrake to install grub on hda5, then I do a dd to copy 512 bytes to a file which the XP Boot Manager can use.] I tell the installer to use Grub and write it to hda5. It notices my boot manager and asks which disk I boot from. (hda or hde) It then proceeds to overwrite my XP Boot Manager with Grub. hda5 meanwhile, has LILO installed on it. It completely skips the step of creating a boot floppy disk. (That's 3 incorrect actions!) Boot with CD1, go into rescue mode, select restore Windows boot information. Remove CD, reboot box, and Grub is still the first thing I see! [Rescue failed to restore the boot sector!]
