SCSI

Can I set up Linux on my SCSI drive (controlled by an LSI card) and have Windows on my IDE drive and make LILO work?

I am having trouble with this, I can't seem to edit the lilo.conf to allow me to boot to windows i can only go in linux.

My linux drive is "sda" and the windows drive is "hda". How can I set up LILO to allow me to boot to windows and linux? Can someone help me out?

Also, the partitions look like this:

sda1 linux part
sda5 linux swap

hda1 windows

A windows entry in lilo.conf should look like this:

other = /dev/hda1
label = windows
table = /dev/hda

after you edit lilo.conf, run the command '/sbin/lilo' (no quotes) to re-run lilo so the new configuration takes effect

Of course, change the locations specific to your system.

Thanks for your reply, should that be the only thing I have under the windows xp section?
