Re: [newbie] lilo troubles (RH-related)

[Raffaele Belardi]

That's what I thought, and I did exactly as you write. But, running lilo 
to update the bootloader, we got the error message "partition not found" 
or something alike, and the bootloader was not changed.

Thanks for the link, I was quite surprised seeing that ntfs is not 
included in RH. I guess MDK sets expectations too high.

Anyway, the problem is partly solved: reinstalling RH, we noticed that 
there was an error in the way we configured the bootloader, and that's 
why the windows entry did not show up in the lilo menu.

thanks again,

Irregardless of whether the kernel has NTFS built into it, you should
still be able to get lilo to recognise the partition and boot to it.
Your lilo should have an entry like:
other=/dev/hda5
        label="windows"
        table=/dev/hda
You HAVE to rerun lilo after modifying the /etc/lilo.conf - but this
should work.
If you want to mount the partition, you can find the NTFS modules at:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/
They require no recompiling of the kernel - just run the RPM package
suitable for your kernel and you're all set. Just remember that writing
to NTFS partitions is NOT a good idea under anything than Windows...
HTH!
