Advanced Lilo Questions
Hi all,
I have Windows 98SE and Knoppix on
one HD and Windows 2000 on another HD.
I installed Knoppix last with Lilo in
the MBR.
On startup I get the Lilo boot manager
in which I can choose to load Linux,
the old Windows-NT boot manager or either
Windows 98 or Windows 2000 directly.
Question #1:
When I select the Windows-NT boot manager from
the Lilo menu, I can load Windows 98 and 2000 normally.
But when I select the partitions directly where
Windows 98 and 2000 are located with Lilo,
the screen just goes black, but nothing happens.
It seems as if Lilo is unable to load Windows directly...
What causes this and how can it be fixed?
I edited the lilo.conf file in the "/etc/"
directory but found no instructions for this
problem.
Question #2:
The Windows-NT bootloader was in the MBR of hard disk 1.
Then I installed Knoppix and Lilo also to the MBR of HD 1.
Now on booting, I get Lilo and there can select
a partition which loads the original Windows-NT bootloader,
which still works (luckily, as I can't boot Windows with Lilo).
How is this possible?
Wasn't the Windows-NT bootloader in the MBR overwritten or
deleted when I installed Lilo also to the MBR???
Are both bootloaders resident in the MBR now???
Thanks for all replies!!,
Mark
