Also, when I connect the linux drive my machine boots straight to Mandrake - no windows options. Should I disconnect the windows drives, run lilo and then work with bootmanager? What is the correct sequence please?
This would be the easiest way of doing things. As you say, boot into linux, configure lilo to see all OS'es and then reboot.
BTW what sequence do you have your OS'es? Are they win2k, XP, Linux?
