where can i get partition magic and....

[Stuart Browne]

I don't suppose you took a snapshot of what /etc/lilo.conf was on the HDD before you modified it?

In any case, you'll need to change that entry to point to '/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22', or whatever version your current kernel is.

Once you change the setting, re-run lilo, and see what it says then.

[shawn barnett]

you mean modify the file to point the boot location to there ...correct?

[Stuart Browne]

I mean:

boot=/dev/hda
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
prompt
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
label=Linux
root=/dev/hdb3
other=/dev/hda3
label=WinXP

ok lilo added it now should i reboot using just the harddrive version of the file or should i use my boot disk?

[Stuart Browne]

Reboot without the boot-disk, and see what happens.

[shawn barnett]

[Stuart Browne]

I'm glad it worked for you Shawn.

I hope you at least learnt a bit about how the boot-loader stuff works too! :)
