I installed it into the boot partition. Will this be o.k? I can't even boot into windows at the moment, so when I re-install, I will have to boot from the CD, and bypass lilo. When windows is re-installed, will it just boot straight into windows, or will lilo come up again. Also, will lilo interfere with the windows install at all?
