Grub is not as accessible as lilo. Don't know what your Windows problem was, but I've not seen Windows problems based on lilo, myself. What kind of Windows problems? What Windows? My advice is to put lilo back as your boot loader--or use the commercial program System Commander which knows a lot about Windows and handles linux, too. But, lilo is free and System Commander isn't. PS: You did create a bootable floppy during your linux install, didn't you? Can you boot linux using that floppy? On Thu, 6 Sep 2001, Deedra Waters wrote: > we tried this and that didn't work.
