Hi all,
I'm planning to reinstall w2k on a pc that has 2 IDE HDD in it. One is running SuSE 8.0 and lilo is boot the boot manager. Now when I reinstall windows it will remove the lilo part in the boot sector on the w2k disk.
How can I get lilo to boot w2k again after the w2k installation as I won't be able to boot SuSE anymore I think.
Any help would be appreciated.
thx,
If I were doing this I would: 1) Do the re-install of W2K (if you must... :-) 2) Boot from the SuSE 8.0 install CD's (or DVD) and run the 'rescue' system. 3) Mount my '/' partition on /mnt of the rescue system. 4) chroot /mnt (and you are now running your normal 8.0 system. 5) Mount the /boot partition. 6) Run Lilo to re-install lilo in the MBR. The above assumes your /etc/lilo.conf is already set up to boot W2K also but if you're doing a re-install I would assume it is.
