Operating Systems Linux Slackware After installing linux cannot boot PC anymore? Post 50895 by woofie on Tuesday 4th of May 2004 10:30:43 PM

To get a dual boot (windows and linux) you need to edit the /etc/lilo.conf file.

Try adding the following lines into the lilo.conf file.

other=/dev/hda1
label=Windows


Where /dev/hda1 is replace with the Windows partition.

With your second question. When wanting to start linux do you want it to start in a graphical mode or text mode?


Cheers
