rewrite the boot record every time you booted Windows. This could be

Hi everyone, my problem is this: at the moment I am running win98 and I
would like to switch to a dual booting system (Windows2000 and Linux
Mandrake 7.0). I have been told that I should install Windows2000 first
then Mandrake 7.0. Is this the right way to go? Will I have trouble

Michaelthe reason your Linux installation won't boot from
the hard drve, but will boot from the floppy is as follows. The

Ha! I did this the other day... :)
Here is what I had to to to fix it.

worked.
2. I grabbed my Windoze boot floppy made during the install and made sure it
worked.
3. ran lilo -u -U /dev/hda
4. ran lilo -u -U /dev/hd
OK... I just installed a new hard drive in my machine. Now Linux gets it's
own drive! :-) Anyway, I have Windoze on the Primary master (/dev/hda).
Linux is on the secondary master (/dev/hdc). The problem is, I installed
LILO in the master boot record on /dev/hda. It will boot Linux but not
Windoze
