Simply Lilo Question

[Chris L.]

I have successfully installed Debian (finally!). But, unlike other distributions, it did not detect my Windows partition, which is located at /dev/hda1.

What do I need to add to the end of the lilo.conf file so that I can choose from Windows or Linux.

Thanks,
Chris Lynch

I got this from another post in General on Lilo from this morning/last night.

# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1
label = Windows
table = /dev/hda

and rerun /sbin/lilo

Please note that if you already have a partition with windows on it, or plan to, then you should be able to view the partition table using cfdisk. You should find that windows likes to install itself at the beginning of the HD and no where else, along with installing the boot loader by default on the MBR. My problem is.. is when I got lilo booting up windows, something happened to windows to effect MS Dev Studio so that it will not install. Can anyone help with this issue?

Thanks!
