[novip]

Hi Friends.

I feel so newbie as in the first day in the army.
Anyway.

I got some advices in my previous topic but i have problems again.
I tried to install Linux Mandrake 7.0 in my system which is allready runnig Windows Me. I made a new partition in the primary =
partition with ''FIPS'' (The partition is above 1024 cylinder) and I 've =
started the installation. When it comes to the LILO installation point, it says "1107>1023 lilo wasn't installed succesfully". After goes to the video test and it says that I must change the settings of my screen or my adapter cause it didn't find alone the settings. I put a close model adapter to mine (ATI 2000 Xpert Pro TVout) =
but a black screen came up. I waited for 2 minutes nothing came up and I reboot.It pasts the hardware test and trying to boot, it wrote the well known " LI " and stuck. I download the newversion of LILO 21.7 but I do not exactly know what should I do. Can anyone show the way to a blind man.

Thanks in advance!

LI is a pretty good indicator that your /boot is out of reach of LILO. You need to boot into linux to upgrade LILO. Use your boot disk you created when you installed Mandrake. That should get you to a command prompt. You will probably need to mount your windows partition to get to the new LILO 21.7
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /win/c
now copy the file into your favorite installation directory
cp /win/c/<path to downloaded LILO-21.7.tar.gz> /usr/InstallDirectory
while in the directory with LILO...gz
gunzip LILO-21*
tar -xvf LILO-21*
now cd LILO-21*
now pico README

Thats it you've read the entire README and are capable of installing/configuring LILO.

If you get stuck give us a buzz.

Oh, and while on topic of installing newest LILO,you might need to upgrade/install bin86 utility.Hope this helps.
