What kind of drives do you have on your system and where are they connected.

Example:
hda hard drive
hdb nothing
hdc cdrom
hdd nothing

Hello, if your hdd is in the secundary you should do something like thisother other = /dev/hdb1
label = dos
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
table = /dev/hdb
this is for you can access your windows particion, if you have one. reinstal you red hat and let him put the boot on the MBR and the add this to your lilo.conf, and all you have to do next is to write "dos" when you wannt to go to windows
Hasta!! :)
