Q: I have installed to my Hard Drive and now all I see is this lilo screen when I boot can I still use my Windows?
A: Yes you will have to set up lilo to dual boot between windows and linux. To do this you must edit the file /etc/lilo.conf.
- Open the file with either emacs or vi (ie. emacs /etc/lilo.conf) in a root console window.
- To open a root console select the "clam shell" icon from the task bar when the window appears type su then enter type in your password and enter again now you have a root console.
- A the bottom of the file you will see an example for a Windows install commented out (# at the first of the line) remove the # from the lines:
- other=/dev/hda1
- label=Windows
- Save the file and exit from the editor.
- While still in the root console type /sbin/lilo then enter to commit the changes you just made to the disk.
- Re-boot and you will now have the option to boot windows in your lilo screen.
