I think you only created 4 primary partitions. It doesn't sound like you created an extended partition holding logical partitions, which is what W2K would have complained about. It is a good idea to create the slew of linux partitions I explained, for various administrative reasons. > ... and added the Linux partition to NTLDR with BootPart. > > That was it.

I described how to set up LILO to do the dual boot. I don't know if NTLDR will be able to handle /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old, but I kind of doubt it. > No messing with dd, no nothing. I only used dd to create a backup of NTLDR. I could have forged ahead without it, but that isn't prudent.
