Thank,s .Shane you understand what I,m wanting to do it,s me that is scared of this thing .I built a AMD 1900 for a friend the other day he had acouple of drives neither very big so I used one for the master and put XP on it (what he wanted not my ideal) the slave has something on it 98 I think but this weekend I wanted to wipe it out (it,s only 2.5 gig) and put 8.1 on it .But I,ve only setup lilo on 98 and on one hardrive never set-up were when I boot I want to pick another drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "shane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 11:30 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Master & slave drives
