tyme Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 No, not really :P Since Vista isn't out for consumer purchase yet no one has much experience with it. Heck, not many people here will use it when it comes out anyways :P Could you post the contents of your /etc/lilo.conf file please? specifically the portion you wrote for booting vista.

Mhn Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 you miss the table=/dev/hda at the vista entry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AleXxiO Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 i inserted that, but still says when i select it: NO BOOTMGR loaded, press ctrl alt canc to restart... ..dunno.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Are you certain of your partition labels? My system made hda2 an extended partition which contained other partitions. Using /dev/hda2 does nothing if it is extended. Also, I do not know that vista needs to think it is primary. I would configure the xp boot loader to offer xp or vista. So, you would initially select xp and then choose vista. But, since I have not played, I do not know how to counter-act the evil vista.

Ixthusdan Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 OK. I would consider checking ms for setting up the xp bootloader, and then going there from lilo. I am certain that this would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel_uk Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Did you try grub? (I know, not adressing lilo, but for us it will help to advise people doing triple boot; are people going to keep xp and vista together :P , + linux?) I would configure the xp boot loader to offer xp or vista. +1 BTW, will never use vista, because I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
