If you put LILO into the MBR as suggested here, you'll need an "other" entry in your lilo.conf to be able to choose to boot the Windows OS. man 5 lilo.conf Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (610)796-5838 >>> amilivojevic@xxxxxx 12/17/04 09:37AM >>> Amit Patel wrote: > I just installed Fedora core 3 on my computer but I can't boot Fedora. > > I have 2 physica hard drives with 2 operating systems, om the first > hard drive I have windows 2000 and on the second one I have windows > XP.

You either need to install LILO in the MBR of first drive, or have yuor BIOS boot off the second drive (if it supports it, and of course provided LILO is installed there). The easiest way is to boot into rescue mode, let Anaconda mount partitions for you, when you get shell prompt do "chroot /mnt/sysimage", and than go to /etc (remember, you are chrooted), and edit boot line in lilo.conf to point to /dev/hda. Of course, provided that you want LILO install itself into MBR. -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic@xxxxxx> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
