Duel boot, Win 2k and Linux probs...
 
Ive just installed Stackware 8.1 on a linux partition on my HD - the drive already has Win2k on an NTFS partition.

I told slackware to make a duel boot with LILO boot on installing linux, but theres no LILO menu when I restart the machine - it just goes straight to Win2k?

How can I sort out a duel boot menu now?!

Most likely you've installed LILO in the wrong place (and in future use GRUB anyway) - a common problem with dual boot. What EXACTLY is your hard drive setup: haw many drives, how partitioned etc?

One drive, 5 partitions

c: NTFS
d: FAT32
e: FAT 32
Linux partition
Linux swap partition

c: is the primary partition with win2k on, slackware on the Linux partition obviously

Problem I have now is I cant get into linux to sort of the LILO boot problem? Are there any windows boot managers that can duel boot with linux, but are installed from windows?

Does'nt Win 2k have its own boot manager. If not Partition Magic will do it.
