LURKER here, NOT a guru still trying to learn how to be a NEWBY. NOW for this prob, just corrected a prob I had with my system. My system was booting to LILO and I use the PowerQuest's BootMagic, I booted to LILO and then typed in windows, then went into the BootMagic Configuration and set thingys the way I wanted them and exited to DOS and ran 'fdisk /mbr' (with out the quotes). Returned to WinBlow$ and exited and did a reboot and WOW! it worked the way I wanted. What I am trying to say in all of this is I did NOT use a WinBlow$ boot disk, did it directly from DOS by just exiting to it.
