Question I need help with lilo
Smilie I've been trying to figure out what happen to Windows 2000 since I upgrade my partition of Red Hat 7.1 to 7.2. Before I even upgraded my system would dual boot both OS's now it only sees Linux in lilo. Can some one help me I'm in need of help. Can you tell me what I'm missing in my script. I can't load 2000 again because I have very important file that I need to keep.

THANKS:!!! Smilie

On your situation, your Win partition is not really lost. Its just hideing in the partition place. Check your /ec/lilo.conf are you able to see both OS's summarise on it ? Can you ? If you can then it should be a problem. Another way to settel this problem is rearrange the lilo structure or the way it boots back to normal. Type /sbin/lilo as soon as you type you might see something like this:
Added Linux
Added Windows
Added * Swap

If you able to see this, that means your lilo configuration have succesfully arranged the file system to get ready for dual boot.
Give a try.. post back if that doesnt help.
