I have just tried to install linux on a separate harddrive than XP for a dual boot, but when i get it all installed, and the lilo screen comes up, all i get is an option to load linux and no windows...any help out there?
and also i was wondering if i should restore my windows MBR and then try again, and just use a flopppy to access linux, if so please tell me how to restore it :)
thanks

UH OH I hope you didn't format all the partitions then youw would have losts windows otherwise windows xp if formatted in NTFS will not show up on lilo boot screens. you could go into linux and run lilo -u to get rid of the boot loader so you can boot into windows again
