my lilo is installed in /dev/hdc1. win is on hda, as is the mbr, using a third-party boot manager. per the /etc/lilo.conf file "Specifies the boot device. This is where Lilo installs its boot block. It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which case it installs in the MBR, and will overwrite the current MBR." bob
