Aight.
You guyz know your shit so here goez another question.
I have a Dual Boot System. Two Hard Drives. The primary HD has Win2000 and the other Redhat 7.1, I use a boot disk to get into Linux. Lilo appears to be installed on the Secondary hard drive.How can I get an option that will allow me to boot either drives other than using a third party BOot Manager.

On the assumption that Win2000 boot load is still like NT (90% sure it is) you need to do the following.

Check where you have lilo installed to on the second drive (boot record/super block). Now you need to get a copy of you boot block to give to the Windows boot loader. To do this use dd to extract the first 512 bytes of the superblock/boot record:

(assuming that LILO is installed on the superblock of your first linux partition on your second IDE hdd)

dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=bootsect.lns bs=512 count=1

Now that you have your bootsector copy this to you c:\ and edit boot.ini - you will need to take off the hidden & system attributes, so:

attrib -r -s boot.ini

now edit boot.ini to add the following under the [Operating Systems] section

C:\BOOTSECT.LNX="Linux"

not put reset for attribs

attrib +r +s boot.ini

Now reboot and hopefully you will see an option in your menu called 'Linux'

You will need to repeat the process whenever you update your kernel/lilo settings - please remember to do this or you'll be back to you boot disk!!
