I have the following configuration (three SCSI-hds, each 2 GB): MBR: NT-Bootmanager sda1 Win 95 (fat 16) 1 GB sda2 Win NT 4.0, SP3 (NTFS) 1 GB sdb1 Linux (ext2) 1.9 GB sbd5 Linux swap 0.1 GB sdc1 Data (fat 16) 2 GB And I boot LILO with the NT-Bootmanager, also works fine. > partition-1 Windows-NT, 4.0-service pack 4, NTFS > partition-2 FAT32, pagefile.sys, only used for virtual memory How does that work? I was always under the impression, that Fat32 was not supported by NT 4.0. Kind regards Frederick
