LILO problem
 

hello all

i have installed the linux(redhat release 9).whenever i install
the windows after installing the linux the LILO automatically
removes and only the windows option appears for booting.

so how i recovers LILO tell me exact steps of recovery

and also give me steps of dual booting. How to dual boot with lilo?

i am very very thankful to you intelligent guy.

my linux is on /dev/hda5

install windows first then linux or you could install lilo to your distros root partition and use a boot disk or you could use ntldr to boot linux. Lots of options do your research google works wonders.

Thats why you install windows first. if you install linux first then windows it over writes the mbr. did you make a boot disk when you installed linux. if you dont have a bootdisk.

boot your first install cd.

type linux rescue at the boot prompt

it will scan for your redhat partition select it

it will mount your redhat partition in /mnt/sysimage

chroot /mnt/sysimage

doen't redhat install grub by default


/sbin/lilo if lilo does work than
grub-install /dev/hda

ctrl+d

reboot besure to remove cd

post back if it worked
