Seperate Hard Drives?
Hi,
It sounds like you are using two seperate hard drives here, hda and hdb, where your windows installation is on hda and your knoppix on hdb. Now if this is the case, then lilo (the linux loader) is installed on the MBR (master boot record) of your hdb hard drive -- the loader for windows should be intact on your hda hard drive. I'll bet that if you go into your BIOS settings and change the order in which disks are probed for booting you'll be able to boot into Windows directly. However, the ideal solution is to keep the boot order the same but edit /etc/lilo.conf to include your hda hard drive as a boot option. Remember that after altering the /etc/lilo.conf file you must run the program lilo in order to commit the changes to the MBR of your disk drive. If you look at the lilo.conf file you will generally see a commented-out example of how boot options are specified, so I won't go into details about it here. (Another thing you could do is to just pull out hdb from your machine and let it boot into Windows). Hope this helps...
