Re: Double boot help needed, LILO/loadlin confusion
You should use LILO.
boot = /dev/hda
root = /dev/hda7
install = /boot/boot.b
map = /boot/map
vga = normal
prompt
delay = 50
ramdisk = 0
read-only
default = linux
image = /vmlinuz
label = Debian
alias = linux
image = /boot/vmlinbackup
label = backup
other = /dev/hda1
label = MS
table = /dev/hda
This above is a lilo.conf file that you could use for your situation.
Just check the partitions. I think hda7 is Linux bootable, and hda1 is
Windows partition.
Anyway, just copy above into /etc/lilo.conf and run
lilo lilo.conf
Then reboot. This will make your computer load Debian as a default, but
you will get a prompt asking what OS you want to load. (label for windows
is MS ).
If you want to restore your MBR (master boot record) of drive C, then just
go into Dos and run fdisk /mbr
HTH,
Andrew
