I obtained yet another harddrive for my computer; this makes 3x60GB. I have a RAID controller on my mobo, which gives me the extra 2 IDE channels I need, though I don't use RAID.
I have 3 hard drives...hde, hdf, and hdg. hde is on primary master, hdf is primary slave, and hdg is secondary master.
I installed linux to hde (obviously because it is the most important), and windows to hdg. (hdf is just data). On hdg there is a 110 mb partition for DOS and ntloader. Ntloader runs excellent when i switch the drive to primary master, but when i switch it back to secondary master, lilo runs and doesn't know how to boot from hdg.
Is this possible? If so, what lines do I need to add to lilo to have it boot ntloader when 'DOS' is selected??
actually that was what mandrake put in there automatically and it didnt work.
im very puzzled. i do NOT want to switch the order of my drives because that means taking my computer completely apart. its not as easy as it sounds. the thing weighs 40 lbs....need i say more?
