Sometimes we accidentally install LILO on the Master Boot Record (MBR) and freaked out! My Windows is gone?, dont worry, it still there!
Here's how to solve it.
1. Re-Install and do it again! ( just kidding)
2. Use Lilo as the boot manager (Recommended)
Sample of Partitions (on this case):
(slices) :(filesystem):(mount point)
/dev/hda1 : NTFS : /win2000
/dev/hda2 : extended partition
/dev/hda5 : ext2 : /boot
/dev/hda6 : swap : swap
/dev/hda7 : ext2 : /
/dev/hda8 : ext2 : /usr
1. Boot into Linux ( you may not be able to boot windows now )
2. Edit /etc/lilo.conf :
Append the follow entries to lilo.conf :
other=/dev/hda1
label=win2000
table=/dev/hda
3. Run /sbin/lilo , and you should see a new boot lable
"win2000"
4. Try "lilo -D win2000 ; reboot" to boot into Win2000.
That's all folks. Lilo will be your boot manager now and you can boot into Win2K. If you need futher help, go to our forum and we'll answer your questions.
