Yeah, lilo -u didn't work. After doing it, the machine wouldn't boot at all. I put my 9.1 cd in and went into rescue, thinking I'd re-install Lilo, then I noticed an option for "Restore windows bootloader" or something like that. I thought it would just overwrite the MBR with the same /boot/0300 file that lilo -u did, but I decided to give it a try anyway. It worked like a charm. Scott
