Hi,
	Sparky your boot sector can be re-built using the correct 
version of FDISK that goes with your version of WinDoze, using as 
suggested by others 
				fdisk /mbr
	
	I have always been under the impression that if you dual boot 	
	LINUX and WinDoze that LILO is not placed in the master boot 
	record but some place else on the hard disk, the old grey 		
	matter seems to remember that  this only applies if its 		
	WinDoze N(ot)T(ested)   ( true / false? anyone)

	I have never bothered to Phaff about dual booting except with a 
	sysquest as the boot disk and using different disks for various 
	operating systems. The old help desk computer supported  7 	
	O/S using this idea. So I would be interested in hearing how it 
	should be done properly
