I had no problems dual-booting linux/NT from within lilo. (or within the NT loader) I physically removed my linux drive while installing NT (linux was already on /dev/hdb) just to be safe. NT did not restore the MBR as I had expected so I added a few lines in lilo.conf to chain into NT. I also added to NT's boot.ini. I know people who use System Commander successfully to go between the two also. -dave -- | oOOooO / [EMAIL PROTECTED] --| oOobodoO / We're just two lost souls, swimming in a --| ooOoOo / fish bowl, year after year.
