Removing LILO Entry


I temporarily connected a hard drive to do some things to it and now I have an extra entry when LILO pops up at boot. I just don't want to remove the wrong entry by mistake.

When I boot it gives me:

Linux
Windows
hde1

Just wondering if this was it:

# Windows bootable partition config begins
default=Linux

other = /dev/hde1
label="Windows"
table = /dev/hde
# Windows bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins

image="/dev/hde1"
root="/dev/hde7"


image="/boot/vmlinuz"
root="/dev/hde7"
label="Linux"
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

Thanks!

Yes, those two lines you hilited seem to be the correct ones to remove.

Lilo is great- it's easy to use and easy to fix if you make a mistake. You can always fix it, so don't worry!

but don't forget to run /sbin/lilo again to make the changes permanent

Thank you both. I was hoping that was it. I could have left it alone, but it was eating at me. Crossing your fingers and holding your breath doesn't always help.

Thank you again!
