Hi all. Until a week ago, Windows used to share my HDD alongside Linux.
Then, last weekend, MS-DOS decided it was going to ruin my Linux install (with a little help from me inadvertently I guess!). I have tried to survive without a Windows partition, but In reality, I cant. I have loaded up 98 onto an old 2GB I have lying around, and have installed it in the box, as a slave drive. Now the fun bit. DiskDrake is seeing it, and calling it /dev/hdd1. When I set LiLo to boot from this, it doesent happen. Probably because the drive isnt mounted at this point?? Any Ideas how I can configure the boot loader to pick it up, and boot into Windows from this drive? I flatly refuse to let Linux and Windows co-exist on the same drive anymore!! (if I could find Linux versions of the software I got, I would forget it totally!).
