Re: Another LILO problem
hi ...
yeh...I always ( try ) to use different disks for different
OS...... guess laptops share the dirve...different partitions...
and yes...winxx is typcally the first partition ..."C" on my boxes..
since it's nto very bright about booting..
you might try table=/dev/hdb instead of /dev/hdb1...donno...
for your win partition
have fun
