I thought, that if for example I install LILO in /dev/hda3 (instead of in the mbr), this partition has to be bootable too. OK, this does not mean, that lilo cares about it, but a relation between the two is still there, even without M$ But after all, I may be totally wrong here since I use mbr. -- Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
