My guess is that because lilo is bigger then 512 your only coping part of it.Originally Posted by Matschr
Hello!
On my PC where is installed Windows, now i installed also Debian with a Knoppix 3.6 - Disc. The Lilo-Bootloader i installed on the Linux-Partition. With dd if=/dev/hdb2 of=/mnt/hdb1/ll.lnx bs=512 count=1 i copied the first sektor of Debian in to the second partition of Windows (FAT32). Then i startet Windows copied the file in the first Partition of Windows (NTFS) and wrote in the boot.ini-file C:\ll.lnx="Linux"
The Problem: when i start the Computer and Choose to start Linux there come permanent the figures " 01". Can anybody help me?

Do you know how big lilo is? I tried it with bs=1024, but it didn't work.
I have a 20GB-harddisk where is installed Windows 2000 Professional (NTFS). The second harddisk is 160GB big, where i have two partitions. A Windows FAT32-Partition and the Debian (Knoppix) - Operating System.
Nope, sorry. You could try a raw read and try and find where lilo ends.Originally Posted by Matschr
Though I have to ask? Why do you want to do this?
I do this because i want to use the NT-Bootloader. I have on the Windows-Partitions important files. When the Lilo-Bootloader doesn't work, all the data gets lost.
the boot sector is only 512 byte so your procedure is right. However, what complicate the matter is that you have 2 physical disks. Sometimes, launching it this way may confuse the boot sequence.Originally Posted by Matschr
The 01 message you see means the boot sector has problem locating the "stage2"(the real lilo boot codes, much more than 512 byte).
I have written a w32grub last year which works with NTFS/XP. You may still be able to find it doing a search here.
Don't know what you mean there, I wouldn't think that Lilo would cause problems, but i'm useing grub to dual boot. Works fine for me. (windows XP)Originally Posted by Matschr
My Win2000 didn't work well so i installed now WinXP Professional on the 20GB-Harddisk. The first 150GB of the second harddisk are for my Windows-Data. Both partitions are now FAT32-Partitions. But i can't start my Debian-Linux neither with the Lilo nor with the Grub-Loader installed in the root-partition of Debian.
did you try isntalling it to the mbr? you can always change it back.Originally Posted by Matschr
No, i didn't try it. If i do so, it could happen that windows doesn't start, does it?
