[lug] LILO, RED HAT7.1 and XP home

[David Novotny]

Howdy,
I killed the MBR on my system trying to do a dual boot XP home and RH 7.1 
install.
I can get to the linux using a boot disk but I can't reach my WIN side 
anymore.   I can't boot from the local hard disk even into llinux all i get 
is a single "L" on the screen when I try.

/dev/hda
/dev/hda1   de DELL UTILITY
/dev/hda2   *      WIN NT

/dev/hdb
/dev/hdb1    *  83 Linux
/dev/hdb2        82 linux swap
/dev/hdb3        83 Linux

my lilo.conf is just like on my RH7.1 / WIN2000 machine but I can't get it 
to work.  I believe that DELL put some kind of boot on /dev/hda1 that 
references to /dev/hda2 to boot I recall doing some funny things to get the 
WIN 2000 to boot after I installed RH7.1 but It was so long ago I can't 
remember.  there is not "fdisk /mbr" for WINXP so I am at a little bit of a 
loss.


I need to get my XP stuff back (actually it is my bosses machine) - Any ideas
