Once in, you need to run "lilo" to reinstall the boot loader (assuming it installed lilo; if it installed grub, I think you need to run "grub-install"). Basically, Windows XP's boot loader likes to only work with Windows (although it's possible to coerce it to work with others). It would have been easier if you had installed Windows first, then Debian. But no worries; you just have to get in Debian in some fashion to reinstall its boot loader. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
