I've been experimenting with LINXU distro's and was installing slackware and went thru the install and rebooted. Unknowingly I wiped out the old MBR that had Windows 2000 on it. The beauty of this is that windows is on a hda and linux is on hdb so I know windows is still there.

How do I update LILO to see windows?

Right know I'm running KNOPPIX the version of linux that runs entirely from CD, it's even faster that the compiled version I have on hdb. What give there ya think....?

Holler if ya hear me!

if you go to

/etc/lilo.conf
and add this to the end of the file

other = /dev/hdb1
label = Win2K
table = /dev/hdb

save the file and run lilo by typing lilo.
it will show you that the added device was successfull like this

*linux added
*Win2K added

I think the word addedd is in there.
