Well the problem ended up being that the hard disk had a bad sector
right in the area of the /boot partition (before the 1024K) point. So
there for lilo was spitting out all those 01 01 01 01. Using Loadlin
from with in win2k sounds also like a pretty good idea once the HD gets
replaced. L
Hi
No, that's right. Lilo won't owerwrite win2k's mbr. I'm not sure exacly
how this works, but it's working:)
I'm workin dayly with several pc's with dualboot win2k/debian, and I have
done this several times, last time today on my own ibm-x20 laptop. I'm
working with support on both windoze and d

I believe it is actually possible to get the W2K boot load
Ok I will try that tonight and see what happens tonight and report back
and see if its just a funcationality that grub has. I like your other
idea though of setting up a small boot partion on /dev/hda as well.
That should work for sure as you said.

Use grub for trial boot!

Is this a Lilo thing? I installed Gentoo on the same computer and it
uses Grub, with the same exact setup, but it had a seprate /boot on the
second drive.

Well that is good to know that lilo can and backs up the org. MBR, but
basically there seems no way to boot Debian with the WIN2k Boot loader.
I don't have a problem with that but my friend may be leary.

So lilo won't overwrite Win2k's mbr and just doing an fdisk/ mbr will
restore the orginal boot loader? Hmmm I was always told that once lilo
took control of that machine then thats it you can't get win2k boot
loader back with our reinstalling, but I have nevr tired it. This may
work then.

Hi
I would just install debian, and configure lilo in MBR on hda. That would
not destroy windoze bootloader, just take controll over it:)
If you later want's to remove debian and lilo, you can just boot up with a
win98 boot/startupdisk and run "fdisk /mbr".
That's it.
Good Luck

On Wed,
Hello all I am setting up a dual boot machine for a friend of mine who
wants to give Linux a go, he has to 20 gig hard drives hda being where
win2k resides, and hdb is broken up to two 10 gig partions. hdb1 being
swap hdb3 being / on the first 9gig. The other 10gig is fat32 for
storage space
