Hi, Bob and Kirk: Well, there's good news... and GOOD NEWS! First, I used YaST2 to make a system boot disk by copying my existing LILO to a floppy disk. Then I checked it out to be sure I could boot XP and SuSE Linux from the floppy. This is a really cool way to make a system boot disk. Next, I wrote LILO to the Linux root (/) partition, instead of the MBR, which upgrading to XP had destroyed. I used YaST2 to perform this wondrous feat, also. Then I made sure I can boot both Linux and XP with PM 7 Boot Magic. BM isn't my preference, but right now I prefer it to looking at a blank screen. I will work on replacing PM 7 Boot Mgagic with LILO next. Then I'll be back to normal (whatever that might be). Thanks to both of you for your help, suggestions and encouragement.
