My understanding from what I have read that MBR is not recommended for Win2K or NT, which Grove must have since it is NTFS. I also was not willing to take the chance with the MBR location of the Linux boot loader for Win2K. My understanding is this: with NT, LILO can either be in the boot sector of the primary Linux partition (NT acts as boot manager, and thinks Linux is DOS), or in the MBR with the Linux partition spoofed as DOS within NT (LILO acts as boot manager). The SuSE Reference Manual details this. Win2K isn't mentioned AFAIK.
I have used SuSE dual-booting with Win2k and put lilo in the mbr and it worked great. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional KDE 2.2.1 KMail 1.3.1 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.
