Ok I tried multiple times installing mandrake 9.2 but always the same problem.
My computer can not find lilo (the boot loader), I don't knwow why.
My pc was just the same as when I installed 9.1 RC1 and I had no problems at all installing thatversion.
Can somebody help me out, with this ??

Where did you put Lilo? It gives you the choice to put it at the beginning of the drive (the right place) or at the beginning of the partition.

Also, take out the disk when you reboot and make sure your bios is set to boot off of the hard drive. I say this becuase I change my to CD when I install, then chnage it back when I do the first reboot.

at the beginning (MBR)
My computer is a sort dual boot, when i need linux I take out win XP.
So bios is always same, if he can"t find boot files on a hdd he checks disc drives.
