Does Lilo prevent Windows from updating?
I'm dual booting Mandriva/XP pro, using LILO as my boot loader.
Lately, Windows keeps insisting that I need to reboot to install some updates; it goes through the motions of installing updates while it shuts down, but if I boot back into windows, then it downloads and tries to install the updates again.
In the past (before I was running Linux), I had downloaded an update to windows that required a reboot... It acted just like it is now, except that when it rebooted, it installed the updates /after/ rebooting, but /before/ the XP splash screen. My belief is that the MS bootloader was controlling the actual update.
But now, with lilo handling the boot, I think it's not actually installing the update.
Does this sound like familiar to anyone?
