Hi,

I have a problem dualbooting Linux and Win2000.

I have installed win200 few months ago. Then I added a new ibm hard disk and installed RH 7.2 to that. Now i have linux hard disk as primary master and win200 disk primary slave.

Well i added these lines to lilo.conf. :

other=/dev/hdf
label=win2000.

Now when i boot my machine and select win200 from boot menu it says somethig like this:

can't find operating system.

There is only one partition in win2000 disk.

I have also hpt raid controller installed.

Could someone help me to solve the problem.

Did you make a typing error on "other=/dev/hdf" ? There is no partition number, i.e hdf1

maybe your lilo.conf should be like:
other=/dev/hdf1
label=win2000
