Hi, all.
I got install windows and redhat9.0 in my pc using lilo..
I can dual boot it.
But my windows got problem so i reinstalled d windows
Now i cant dual boot it oredi....
When i start d pc, it will be direct boot into windows.
I don wish 2 reinstall redhat, is it anyway that i can make it dual boot again?
I install windows in my 1st hdd, and redhat in 2nd hdd...
thanks
boot from the redhat cd and choose linux-rescue
then you'll have to chroot /mnt/sysimage
and reinstall lilo
don't ask me how to reisntall lilo becuase i dont use lilo at all, but i'm sure you could google for 'reinstall lilo'
also, why are you using lilo ? grub is the default boot loader for redhat 8/9/fedora and is far better at managing dual boot between windows and linux clients,
its also a graphical and easy to configure boot loader
lastly, redhat 9 is EOL (end of life) there are no more security updates being produced for it,
you should consider moving to Fedora (think of that as redhat 10)

Thanks, i will try to do after i back to my home...
I'm using lilo because i heard others said that lilo is better (don't blame me, 'cause i'm new to linux).
I heard that fedora core 2 will be release soon, is it true? Might be i will wait till the core 2 to be release then i will just try it out.
Is it same a RedHat??
dont use lilo use grub it is better for dual booting into windows !
and yes, fedora core release 2 is out may 17th so perhaps it might be best to wait
cheers

As root, open the /etc/lilo.conf file with a text editor.
Code:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256

# vga = normal

# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
# vga=790

# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Windows bootable partition config begins
orter = /dev/hda1
label = Windows
tabel = /dev/hda
# Windows bootable partition config ends
# Windows bootable partition config begins
orter = /dev/hda1

tabel = /dev/hda
# Windows bootable partition config ends
After you are finished editing the lilo.conf file, you must run the lilo command to rewrite the changes, or they will have no effect.
edwinlcw lilo is cool. Run the apps you like not the apps users like test it all out :)
Thanks....
May 17th, that's means today fedora core2 will be releasing.
I see, i will go and try to download core2 then.
I will try it out later....
Is it all the command from different distro is the same??
Once silly question, how about SuSE linux??
Is it good for a beginner??

SuSE Linux I don't know. I think fedora core2 is a good one for beginner I started out on Mandrake and moved on to Redhat and ended up on Slackware all I know is I LOVE LINUX :)
