\_ Now onto my question, i've followed the how-to at \_ http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader-5.html, so i can dual \_ boot with w2k. When i run the following dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/bootsect.lnx \_ bs=512 count=1 it does not product a bootsect.lnx file required as per the \_ how-to, Any clues/ideas/suggestions? Are you root? Priveleges? Can you of=/someplace/else? /dev/hda2 is your linux root drive? /dev/hda2 is a partition? I've cast this magic a lot myself for this kinda purpose, and I have zero problems with this part of it. David
