i'd like to thank dave & charles & the folks that offered help my lilo/ win2000 problem. unfortunately, i'm still having trouble with it :( i installed the latest lilo build and went into linuxconf and told lilo to use the linear option (which supposedley takes care of reading larger hard discs like mine - a 20gig with win2000), I reboot and get the 1's and 0's...i then edit my /etc/lilo.conf file by adding the lba32 line before my win2000 drive entry, saved, restarted, and 1's and 0's again. I have tried installing lilo to the mbr, to the root dir, and to hda1 where my win2000 partition sits on the 1st hdd without any luck; when i run /sbin/lilo in a term it gives the following output: Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Added linux Added windows Added floppy so that's it...does anybody have the slightest idea as to why this is not working? my win2000 part is FAT32, and not NTFS! i've done 4 linux installs on 4 different win95-98 machines without any problems and cant figure this one out. please, for the love of god somebody help! p.s. i know there is a NHF at linuxnewbie.org for this, but if there's any way i can get through this without adding another partition on my win2000 drive for lilo, it'd be great (if no, then ah well....hell with it - boot with the floppy :(
