Trio3b Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 have searched ....plenty of dual boot info, but only found 1 thread similar but no answer. I guess I should know this but....... 1. Plll with Wxp on hda 2. added second HD (hdb) and MDK10.0 loaded fine onto it. I was expecting to be given option during install for LILO bootloader, but it was put on hda Wxp by default, which is OK. 3. Now.... fairly certain Wxp is infected with nasty virus and would like to eliminate xp completely but can't at this time. Need to reinstall Wxp in same place (hda) but this will wipe out LILO boot loader and leave the hdb useless until I do. There are no important files on hdb at this time. Since I was not given the choice where to install LILO during installation, am wondering how to get it back onto hda after reloading Wxp. Any instructions out there? :unsure: Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yes. Using the first cd, boot, ht F1, type "rescue" and wait for the menu. At the menu, restore the wondows mbr. Install windows. After installation, boot again with the first cd, enter rescue mode, and install lilo to the mbr. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
