wll I had a bit of a snafu, winXP just dropped dead out of the blue on me ... when it went it took lilo down with it. long story short,luckily I made a trusty linux boot disk,booted back to Gnome and rebuilt liloevery thing is working good now except my 98 install XP was booting that one...anyone know how I can fix this. I can boot XP with lilo ,but because 98 was already on the drive when I reinstalled XP it didnt pick it up grrrrr,anyone remember how to fix something like this? :boohoo:

You can't just use Lilo to boot Linux, XP, and 98?

Make another entry into LILO telling it where to look and boot Win98.
I must say (like in AA) that I have been a week clean, not feeling the need for booting back into windows... yet, and everything is working (some things still need a little work, but I think I can live without the M$ POS software.

problem fixed now. the trouble was XP had taken controll of my 98 boot andwhen it died it killed my 98 boot sector,got it fixed tho now lilo is in charge and all is well in the multiboot universe :D
