I installed windows 2000 professional on a 30GB drive, followed by RH7.1. The first 15 GB was windows, the other 15GB is RH7.1. Initially after installing redhat, LILO took over. Therefore i disabled LILO by typing $lilo -U. Then after this I could see windows and access RH by boot disk. In red hat I performed the following.. #dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 #mcopy /bootsect.lnx a: After this I booted windows, placed the "bootsect.lnx" on my C:\ Modified my boot.ini, with the following line. c:\bootsect.lnx="LINUX" Next I re-booted the machine, sure anough I had to choices...windows or linux. Windows works great off of the boot menu. But LINUX, when I choose linux it simply loops around, the boot menu timer resets, nothing happens?????? But I can still access LINUX through a boot disk.. But how do I get LINUX to work off the menu?????

I'm having the same exact problem. I would also like to know how to fix this!

Unless you mistyped it your dd command is wrong. You stated Windows was first on the first 15 gigs and Linux was on the second 15 gigs. In that case /dev/hda1 is most likely your Windows partition. Look in your /etc/lilo.conf file for the line that looks like "boot=/dev/hda5". Then change your dd command to be "dd if=/dev/hda5 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1".
