Yep... FINALLY got rid of that extra lilo that was on hda1 .... by removing the drive putting it on another box and using the four disk method to start win2000. Now it will boot on that box... however seems that it doesn't have the ability to move boxes because now it only works on that box... sigh... Windows is so much easier to install than linux.. yeah right.... The original problem is and I'm still wondering.... When you install lilo to hda1 (the first partition) instead of the MBR what is the filename that contains lilo?
