I am now talking to you from linux!

I got it installed and it seems pretty damn good. It found all the hardware ok, but I haven't tested everything yet. Now that I know mandrake works, I have to figure out how to get back to windows....? Everytime I boot LILO gives me 4 options: Failsafe, Linux,ANOTHER LINUX AND FLOPPY. I would really like to be able to dual boot this machine. Any ideas?

I used my rescue cd to reinstall windows as well, so im sure it is somewhere on the hard disk. :p

You may be able to add three lines to your lilo.conf file and get access to windows. Like this:

other=/dev/hdXY
label=win
table=/dev/hdX

Replace the ' X ' with the correct drive letter and ' Y ' with the correct partition number. Run ' /sbin/lilo '.
