Hi.
I got this problem. After 4 hours reading this forums i cant solve it.
I have got 2 disks. On the primary master a debian linux, on the secondary master i installed a winXP. After installing it (W
indows) owerwrites my MBR and starts OK - but linux is unaccesible. So I boot from Knoppix to run lilo and obtain acces again
to the linux. At this moment the problem starts. After booting now, the lilo loads linux properly, but when selecting the "WinXP-new" (see my lilo.conf in attachment), the mesage "NTLDR is missing" appears. I've tried to fix it like in linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7224 the "linuxcool" man describes, but with no succes
can anybody help? thanks...
my lilo.conf
# Support LBA for large hard disks.

lba32
# Overrides the default mapping between harddisk names and the BIOS'
# harddisk order. Use with caution.
#disk=/dev/hde
# bios=0x81
#disk=/dev/sda
# bios=0x80
# Specifies the boot device. This is where Lilo installs its boot
# block. It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which
# case it installs in the MBR, and will overwrite the current MBR.

boot=/dev/hda
# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. (`/')
#
root=/dev/hda7
# Installs the specified file as the new boot sector
# You have the choice between: bmp, compat, menu and text
# Look in /boot/ and in lilo.conf(5) manpage for details

# You can put a customized boot message up if you like. If you use
# `prompt', and this computer may need to reboot unattended, you
# must specify a `timeout', or it will sit there forever waiting
# for a keypress. `single-key' goes with the `alias' lines in the
# `image' configurations below. eg: You can press `1' to boot
# `Linux', `2' to boot `LinuxOLD', if you uncomment the `alias'.
