Hi, I'm a newbie to this group, and very much a novice when it comes to Linux. I downloaded the RH 7.1 ISO images to my hard drive via DSL, installed the OS, and I am now trying to configure LILO to give the option to boot to Linux. The hard drive on the primary master is the existing hard drive I set up to dual boot Win 98 and Win 2000 Pro, and the first partition is FAT32. I took an older hard drive and configured it as a secondary slave, installed Linux on it, and created a boot disk on floppy during the setup. When LILO tried to configure itself onto the primary master's boot record, I got the following message repeated four times: Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible Sure enough, upon reboot and after POST I got a L on the screen, and it froze there. Nothing a Windows system disk couldn't fix. When I go back into Linux, and try to configure lilo.conf, I still get the message above when I run lilo, and it does the same thing to my boot record. I've tried putting in lba32, fix-table, and taking out linear, in all different combinations. Any suggestions (besides booting to floppy every time, or getting rid of Winblowz)?
