Did you install Lilo at all? I think that when you install Linux, you have to install a boot loader with it, in the Linux partition and not the MBR if you don't want to over-write your current boot loader. I may be mistaken, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Also, this is my first post to the mailing list, so if there is a format or something that I'm supposed to follow, please let me know. Sincerely, John D.
