what does 'lilo.conf' file say?

to find out:

$ su
Password: ******
# cat /etc/lilo.conf

doesnt matter what lilo says, it fscked your nt bootloader.

Hey Teknogod, that wouldn't happen to be Nietzsche that you quoted, would it?

It never has for me, and I tend to have an nt/2k partition on my machine (for school apps). It could do it if you installed lilo to your nt partition I guess, but not if you wrote it to a boot partition or the mbr.

I have dual booted Win NT and linux for awhile and have never had any problems.I have
put lilo in the boot partition with linux but most of the time its in the mbr,either way,no problems.I always put NT on the first partition,either hda1 or sda1 and linux on the same or another disk.

I typically set lilo to write to the / partition, and then strip off the first 512 bytes using dd and put it in a file. Then I put that file where NT can see it, and add a entry to boot.ini for the file.
