Re: Dual Boot Woes

[Tom Pfeifer <tpfeifer@snet.net>]

Extended/logical drives always will start at hdx5. This leaves room for
the max of 4 primary partitions in slots hdx1 - hdx4, and will prevent
your logical partitions from changing later on if you add or delete a
primary.

The problem I see in your lilo.conf file is the first line as show
below:

boot=/dev/hda1    ==>> boot=/dev/hda

That will install the lilo boot loader in the MBR of the master drive,
and give you a choice of the two OS's. You are currently trying to
install it in the boot record of the Windows partition, which is
/dev/hda1.
