Have you tried the usual suspects? man lilo man lilo.conf man liloconfig zless /usr/share/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz > I have one hard-drive(SATA)using XP, and another(IDE)that uses Linux. > Does it matter which one is the Primary or Secondary in this case ? Yes. Lilo wants to know what the relevant partition numbers are. Of the above documents /usr/share/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz has the most info about this. Easiest is probably just to run the 'liloconfig' program as root. It asks you a few questions and that should give a correct setup. If you change anything manually in /etc/lilo.conf remember to run lilo again so the changes will take effect. Before you start experimenting with lilo you may want to test if you can start your computer correctly when lilo fails. So make sure (that is: test) that you can get into Windows with a startup floppy and make sure you can get into linux also with a floppy or perhaps a live cd like knoppix.
