| I'm new to this forum
I was trying to add it to my Windows 2000 Boot menu.
I have the Mandrake 8.1 Distro and here is what I did.
1. LILO is current boot loader.
2. In linux as root I created a boot disk.
3. used mount to look up \boot
4. edit '/etc/lilo.conf': the first line of lilo.conf reads boot=/dev/hda, changed to boot=/dev/hda6
5. Make copy of boot sector. dd if=/dev/hda6 bs=512 count=1 of=/tmp/linux.lnx
6. Copied linux.lnx to C:\
7. Modify boot.ini C:\Linux.lnx="Mandrake 8.1"
8. Here is where I deviated a bit. Instead of using a Windows 9x boot disk to do fdisk/mbr I used the Windows 2000 recovery console and did fixboot | fixmbr
Got rid of LILO but linux fails to load from the menu, it just has a flashing curser. Boot disk as backup still works though.
Any thoughts? | |

| When I have installed a dual boot OS, I usually have LILO or GRUB as the boot loader and then I can select between Linux or Windows. You might want to fdisk linux and toggle the bootable partition to the linux partition. I am probably way off here, but I haven't tried to use windows as the boot loader... | |

| As long as you use grub and install linux as wks and not server you can boot to either linux or windows from grub boot loader.
Linux server install kills all reference to ms and wipes it all off. | |
