Yeah ! That is damn correct. And I too know that that Dos/Windoz
doesn't boot from a second hard disk. Read about it when I read
the LILO manual couple of years back. But it didn't click me
this time when I was trying a similar config. Thanks a lot for your
lilo.conf. It worked out of the box for me.
Now I could enjoy my linux box, while others continue to use it as
a windoz box.
Cheers
