Anyone successfully setup a dual boot with RH7.3 and XP? I have partitions 1&2 NTFS for XP, partition 3 as Fat32 for a common drive between the two. And partition 4 is an extended partition with hda5 being / and hda6 as a swap. I setup redhat to use LILO on the boot sector of hda5 and using a boot disk. I've found HowTo's for configuring LILO to dual boot, but eventhough I specified LILO during install upon booting it is using Syslinux. Anyway to do this using the Windows boot manager? Recommendations for a different boot manager? Can I install Syslinux to the MBR and be able to boot XP on NTFS?

Hi, U can easily use lilo to boot both windowsXP as well as linux. If u've managed to setup lilo.conf for u're system, then just run the following command as root: # /sbin/lilo lilo should show up the next time u boot into u're machine. Keep a bootdisk handy, incase something goes wrong. don't forget to add something like (check lilo howto for exact details): other=/dev/hda1 label=winxp to boot into winxp. Kannan

This is what I get when I do /sbin/lilo. "Warning: device 0x0305 exceeds 1024 cylinder limit Fatal: sector 48755047 too large for linear mode (try 'lba32' instead)" How to I try "lba32"?

Well, to answer my own question in case anyone else is as slow as I. Edit lilo.conf and replace the line that says "linear" with "lba32" with no quotes on either. Then /sbin/lilo worked fine.
