Of course, I have lilo installed on the linux drive, but I assumed that with the linux set master and the windows slave, lilo would pop up and ask what to do with this new drive that isn't in it's config. As to windows booting from slave, it should boot from anything set as a boot device in bios. I guess primary slave is listed as bootable. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lorenzo Prince <lorenzo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Dud you try installing Lilo or Grub, whichever one is on the distro you > are running?
