There is a program called Mrbooter, that should work in place of LILO, it's 
shareware, Dos based, and very easy to use.  I'll find the URL for you.

Subject: Re: NT5 dual boot

I had nothing but trouble trying to maintain w95 and Linux on the same
drive.  Every time I reinstalled w95 it would overwrite the mbr? and I
would have to play with lilo or reinstall Linux.  I spent a week
trying to get the two to play nice with each other.  I think it is a
windows dominance problem.

My solution was to use two hard drives.  Things work better however I
think the real solution is two removable hard drives.  I will be
installing w2k server (NT5?) soon and will be using a removable.  I
want to use the same box as both a w2k server and a Linux server, on
separate removable drives.  Of course this all in the privacy of my
home.

&gt; I have a Sony Vaio laptop with Windows 2000 that I set up with an
 extra
 &gt; partition to install TurboLinux, which we got when we bought a hub
 for one
 &gt; of our offices. I could not for the life of me get the LILO to play
 well
 &gt; with NT5 - I'm still not entirely sure why. I never DID get it to
 work, but
 &gt; I read up on the MS website on something about a NTDetect.dos file
 or
 &gt; something similarly titled that you can edit to boot into &quot;other
 operating
 &gt; systems&quot;, though I don't know if that's MS wording for other MS OS's
 or
 &gt; not...
