Hey! I suggest you do with LILO, its configuration is simple: 1. Edit the file: /etc/lilo.conf 2. Under "# Other operating systems:" add: other=/dev/hdb1 label=WinXP boot-as=0x80 Where "/dev/hdb1" is your partition with Windows. Check it (before) with `fdisk -l' or `blkid'. Finally, remember to type the `lilo' command to update your partition table. (Very important) > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Matias A.
