I do thankyou all for your helping me, and sorry for not getting back to you before now, but with xmas and new years been slight more busy than normal. Still have the problem, but with a difference now, when i log off from within linux and go to the reboot option, i get the following I know its not the best image, but its basically the correct config that i want for lilo, so i know what i have done it right, but when i boot up the system, i am still getting the old config.. below Which suggests i have done something wrong... any idea's

i assume what i have below is what you need, after reading the two replies above, the update process isnt viable, as i am on dial-up, but hopefully what you need is below boot="/dev/hda" map=/boot/map keytable=/boot/uk.klt nowarn message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw timeout="0" default=WindowsXP image="/boot/vmlinuz" label="linux" root="/dev/hda5" initrd="/boot/initrd.img" append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet" vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off" read-only other=/dev/hda1 label="WindowsXP" table=/dev/hda image="/dev/hda1" root="/dev/hda5" initrd="/boot/initrd.img" append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet" image="/dev/hda1" root="/dev/hda5" initrd="/boot/initrd.img" append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet" image="/dev/hda1" root="/dev/hda5" initrd="/boot/initrd.img" append="quiet devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off" image="/dev/hda1" label="" root="/dev/hda5" initrd="/boot/initrd.img" append="failsafe devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off" read-only other=/dev/fd0 label="floppy" unsafe image="/boot/vmlinuz" label="failsafe" root="/dev/hda5" initrd="/boot/initrd.img" append="devfs=nomount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off failsafe" read-only

I just recently installed mandrake 9.1 on my primary hard disk after partitioning it for that reason (i previously have mandrake on a 2nd hard disk) It installed ok, and runs fine, but my main problem is the bootloader. I have a duel boot with winXP pro, and i would like winXP to be the primary OS whereby i dont have to select it, but it will just load winXP if i dont interveen with the bootloader, I did under mandrake set windows to the default OS, but its still loading mandrake if left on its own. Please help, i am only starting out on mandrake, and windows is my main OS for the time been, and as a result, its getting a little annoying sometimes when i arnt watching the computer boot to have to manually step in and select windows. Thankyou all in advance
