Hi Arthur,

Hmmmas I suspected, how do I get it to write to the mbr of the original
HDD?

Win is primary master and active and the second 20 gig drive
was primary slave. Cdrom was secondary master.

ok I did a fdisk /mbr and windows now boots again and I can
boot to linux using my floppy so I am safe but it would be nice to somehow
tell lilo to write its info the mbr of my windows disk /dev/hda
Thnks for you help,
