Kirklilo can't keep you from booting with a floppy because
you set the system bios to boot whatever device you want to be
the boot device. If you tell the bios to try the floppy first
or to only boot from the floppy then if there is a bootable disc
present in the drive, your system will boot

KirkNo, don't re-install Mandrake. After you've upgraded
Windows, boot into Mandrake with the boot floppy you created
during your original Mandrake install (if you didn't create one
then, you can use the command line utility mkbootdisk to create
one now). After you get booted into Mandrake,
If lilo already knows that Win95 is there, you don't have to change anything
in your lilo.conf file. Make sure that you have a Mandrake rescue
disk ready (the one you made when you installed Mandrake), and after you
install Win98 (yes, it will overwrite your MBR) just boot back into Mandrake
and

Pieterfirst off I've installed Mandrake literally 100's of
times since version 5.2 and never sen what you are describing.
Also, you don't say which version of mandrake you're installing
and don't tell just what options you've chosen as you did the
installation. But, you should be able to re-
Pieter, that is the way...it is supposed to setup...
it is not possible to have two OS's on the "same" partiton...
but you can have them on the same drive...yes...
and it is accomplished using partitions...like you have stated.

It's perfectly possible. I usually make a fat16/32 partition with fdisk under
dos, and leave the rest of the drive alone (you might consider making a small 16
MB partition at the very beginning of the disk as boot-partition, then later
convert it with the partition editor in the mandrake install)
