when I did lilo -z -M /dev/hda it said can't find /boot/mbr.b. So I tried it with lilo -z -M /dev/hda /boot/boot.b when it booted I got a LI prompt and it hung There were two hidden files boot.300 and boot 3.08 which are basically the win boot sector, I tried them.
It worked before and I installed after windows Me was there and upgraded to Windows XP fine with the lilo as boot loader. Christopher J.
