Hi Aaron, Thanks for that advice (and to the others that have responded!) When you say "I also write my boot info to the MBR so that windows doesn't erase it if I have to reinstall" - how do you achieve that? Are you talking about LILO's boot info? Do I get the choice where to put that? (Done it a coupla' times now and can't remember - Yes, I AM blonde....) TIA, DaveA

I also write my boot info to the mbr so that windows doesn't erase it if I have to reinstall (a common windows occurence) I didn't see the post that mentions turning off pnp but I have never had to mess with this.
