Partial success.. I got the drives all switched around and everything appears correct. Redhats hardware detection "Kudzu" is pretty nice and works well. It noticed everything I did and allowed me to change config easily. I now have an hdc that I can mount and browse under linux but I can't boot from it. There must be something wrong with the boot record? My lilo.conf boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 linear default=linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hda5 other=/dev/hdc1 label=win When I type "win" at the lilo prompt I get only: Invalid system disk Replace the disk, and then press any key Which seems like a pretty standard windows message Any suggestions?
