Lilo not available when booting.



Jerry,

Thanks for your help.  Tried your suggestion but did not work.  By the
way the option is lower case m and not upper case M.  I've included my
lilo.conf in the hope that an error exist that I can correct.

John

    Windows destroys LILO (or Grub). 
    Try using the -M LILO option:
    /sbin/lilo -M /dev/hda
