I had Mandrake 8.2 on a machine, and then installed Win2K Server (for training purposes only, I assure you). But here's the hitch.......*some* versions of windoze require a reboot before the install in complete. And this reboot is *before* the installer writes the MBR. (Read: install could not complete since the MBR was still intact and pointed to Linux) So, what I had to do was (this was mid-install of win): boot into Linux, backup lilo.conf, create a blank file named lilo.conf, run lilo, and reboot. This booted into and completed the win install. Then: boot from MDK CD1, F1 for more options, repair boot loader, reboot into Linux, append the windoze info to lilo.conf, and run lilo again. Done. Now, wasn't that simple? ;) HTH Dave -- 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� David L.
