> Any advice would be really appreciated. > Here's what always works for me on a dual boot linux/xp box w/ xp on hda and linux on hdb and lilo doing boot duties:
Prepare lilo.conf as if it knows nothing about xp, comment all the windows stuff out and install lilo to hdb1. Next, mount a floppy and enter dd if=/dev/hdb1 bs=512 count=1 of=/floppy/gentoo.bin(or anything, really) unmount the floppy and boot XP. Next, copy gentoo.bin to c:\ and then edit the boot.ini file by adding something like Linux=gentoo.bin(just follow the syntax in the file) to the list of boot options. When XP next boots you will be given a choice of XP or Linux. Never fails. -mw __________________________________ Discover Yahoo! Find restaurants, movies, travel and more fun for the weekend.
