Re: Boot Problems

Thanks for the help so far.  But how do I set the root partition to active.  Can booting from a floppy help me do this???

Thanks....

I set the LILO to boot off the first sector of the second drive (I think that's what it said, it was choice #2).  When I try to boot from the hard drive I get the NT boot manager with no choices for Linux.  Should I fdisk both drives install Linux then NT????
