Hello, I'm running Debian (Potato) and Windoze2000 on one machine. Here are my experiences: First of all, they coexist peacefully! :-) 1) Install Debian 2) Edit lilo.conf: (--> attachment: my lilo.conf) 3) Don't forget to run lilo! 4) Install Windows 2000 (first make sure to apply the right boot sequence in your bios setup [e.g. "CDROM, A, C" when installing Windows from a CD]) 5) Reboot: You should now see an option menu like: Boot: 1) Linux 2) Windows 6) Have fun running two OSs on your machine. Cheers Dieter PS: Since I assume that you are already running Win2000, I have to confess that I don't know how to alter this installation sequence. I _had_to_ install Debian first. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Darryl Röthering [mailto:drothering@hotmail.com] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 14.
