OK - I have a boot option on my BIOS, so I decided (for kicks) to boot off of what was "SCSI Disk", which is my IDE-RAID on-board card (K7V333 board) and I got LILO. It's pretty cool - it works, but took like 15 seconds for LINUX to start booting, but when it did, it flew and works GREAT. Weird

Also did you try Grub? I do not use it myself, but it is real easy to switch. No need for a reinstall. Just go through the 'Boot' section in Mandrake Control Centre. derek
