Well, I gave it a shot and it failed. Re-ran the hdbased steps again and when I got to the "lilo -C /mnt/hda9/boot/lilo.conf", it returned the following error: "Warning: partition type 0x0B on device 0x0309 is a dangerous place for a boot sector. A DOS/Windows/OS2 system may be rendered unbootable. The backup copy of this boot sector should be retained.
Proceed? [N/y]y
Fatal: Filesystem would be destroyed by LILO boot sector: /dev/hda9".

Still, I went ahead and used your commands, edited the boot.ini file and rebooted. That came up with a black screen with a blinking cursor in the left hand window. So, basically I think it's unable to create a lilo boot sector in /dev/hda9 so that I can boot into that. Any other ideas or clues to sort this out?
