I don't do a thing, and tell lilo to boot from hda, you will get setup where lilo gives a choice called windows, and that will give you the NTbootloader, at least it works that way for me with win2kpro. of course when you get right down to it, I ain't sure where the NT bootloader sits. Yeah, but that will give me two boot loaders, if I can add Linux to the NT then I only have one I think you ask the wrong question. You really want to know how to remove lilo that you are forced to install ? On a dos prompt,use a dos switch, fdisk/mbr that removes lilo, you will be left with windblows bootloader. you already know how to configure it to boot linux. Personally , I've tried both methods and would still elect to chain boot load with lilo. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Mandrake 9.2 How do I leave NT Boot loader.
Hi all, Because I have various flavours of windows installed selected using the NT/XP bootloader. I'd prefer to keep using it and just have one boot loader. Now I know how to add Linux to the NT boot loader, but how do I stop the MDK 9.2 installer from overwriting the boot sector on HDA? Any help gratefully received.
