Hi Arthur,

HDD?

Win is primary master and active and the second 20 gig drive
was primary slave. Cdrom was secondary master.

ok I did a fdisk /mbr and windows now boots again and I can
boot to linux using my floppy so I am safe but it would be nice to somehow
tell lilo to write its info the mbr of my windows disk /dev/hda

Thnks for you help,
