However, this only works as you want it to work if you ran lilo only once. Otherwise, what will be restored is the last lilo boot segment that was replaced.
I think running the DOS program: fdisk /mbr will restore the bootability of winNT. But I would wait for someone else to confirm this. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
