That should not have been affected. Just edit /etc/lilo.conf to include a suitable stanza pointing at your windows partition and re-run lilo before rebooting. If it was only a re-install in the same place, I'd expect your old lilo.conf to still work. -- richard Booting into Wi

LILO menu wiped off MBR

2004-11-11 Thread Gayle Lee Fairless
I just had to reinstall Windows 98 on my Gateway 500 and wiped out the LILO alteration to the MBR that lets me also boot into Debian GNU/Linux. I have the Knoppix 3.4 CDROM that would let me get to both hard drives. I'm running woody and just need to rerun LILO to reinstate the

Lilo menu?

Hi people. What's the go with LILO supplied with Debian 3.0? I cant get it to boot anything other than what it comes with. What's the trick? Where am I going wrong? I added the new kernel I made to /boot/ and the added a section for it to lilo.conf. I run lilo, it says it's added it, but when I r
