As an educated guess, I would say not, for the following reasons. LILO can
be installed in the MBR, or the Linux root partition. When it is the MBR, it
is your 'root installer', for want of better words. So it is loaded first.
If you then select another OS, it goes off and does that.
If you have another boot loader, for example boot magic, you put LILO in the
root partition, bootmagic into the MBR, then bootmagic boots first, then
boots LILO when you select it.
Unfortunately, it is a pretty good bet that EZ-drive can only install itself
into the MBR, thereby preventing any other boot programs from going first.
If EZ-drive is installable on the partition, rather than the MBR, then it
should work. But bear in mind EZ-drive is a Microsoft based program, chances
are it's not that flexible.
Is there some alternative to EZ-drive that doesn't need a boot type
execution, perhaps a little applet that runs inside Windows? Just a
suggestion.

Is it possible to have a drive with EZ-Drive with *both* Windows and Linux?
Windows needs EZ-Drive, and the EZ-Drive documentation said Linux (or Unix)
could not run over it. Any way I can enable EZ-Drive for Windows and
disable
it for Linux?
(*Perhaps* a more adequate phrasing for this question would be: Does LiLo
load
before EZ-Drive and can it make EZ-Drive run only for Windows?)
Thanks,
/Gustavo.
