Hi
I created 2 partitions , / and /swap and set their mount points on a secondary 2.1 Gb hdd.(slave) (hdb)
The loading takes place frm MBR (which i figure has to be my master 4.3 hdd)(hda).
I cant seem to boot into win/dos at boot time , LILO doesnt give any options after pressing TAB.
How do i reclaim my data on windows ? How do I restore to original system , I distinctly remember deleting HDA's partitions for the mount points from the list before loading linux redhat 6.2.
Could anybody be kind enough to give me his phone number so that somebody could walk me through the process of retracting old information(which is vv imp : ( :( )
Tript

add something like this in /etc/lilo.conf
other=/dev/hdaX label=win
where hdaX is the device on which your windows is loaded you can check this using command
/sbin/fdisk /dev/hda
and then using 'p' command inside fdisk session.
After altering /etc/lilo.conf donot forget to run /sbin/lilo [-v] for more verbose output. Reboot..

Also forgot one thing also uncomment the line containing 'prompt' keyword if it is commented or if it is not there then add a line containing 'prompt' keyword before the images are defined.
