Hi Anne,
so - here we go :)
Well blow me down :-) Windows_2 boots!
Glad to hear it works :) For getting windows to work - you just have to know what it wants... Unfortunatly. That's why my choice went to unix type systems. In there - I know what I want, and I tell my system what to do ;)

I'm not sure I understand this, and it sounds drastic if I get it wrong. Maybe getting it wrong is what caused the problem in the first place.
I have a mount-point /mdk8_2, which I didn't put under /mnt because I thought I would only be using it to look at conf files and check that I had duplicated settings that worked. I had no problem with that.
I can still mount the partition and read it, but I would not choose to boot to it, as I will soon not have the old /home partition.
What I don't understand, though, are your comments about not executing lilo under 8.2, and installing lilo into the partition table of 8.2. Nor about having to navigate through 2 lilos. It seems that only the lilo under hdf1 is being read, and the choices come from there. I must be missing the point. Can you explain more?
I migh have expressed myself bad. The Problem is that depending on what Mandrake version you have booted, you have an own lilo configuration file. The problem is that you need always to sync the kernel-version inside the lilo.conf, mount the other Operating-Systems root "/" drive before you can be sure the lilo is configured correctly. However - if you don't intend using that version anymore - just ignore what I said ;) guess it'll be easyer ...
Cheers
