| 433861 | 2006-02-26 00:30:00 | ive got ubuntu installed on hda1 and windows installed on hdb2 im using lilo as my boot manager but when i go to boot to windows its like NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart does windows not like being installed on slave drives? not that ive only booted to windows once or twice and this was when i first installed it last night and ive since reinstalled ubuntu (easier than fixing it since i also wanted to edit some partitions and having /home as 30gig was somthign i needed to change) i think my mbr is on hdb last time i had a dualboot i used grub so i was also wondering it this could be lilos fault (configuring grub was alot easier than lilo) |

| 433862 | 2006-02-26 00:45:00 | I don't think it's LILO's fault. It's more likely to be user's fault. :D I'm not sure whether LILO is pointing correctly to the first step of the Windows boot, which can't find NTLDR, or whether it's LILO which should start NTLDR, and can't find it. Is that a MS error message? I think the problem will have arisen from the reinstall of Ubuntu and (mostly) the "edit of partitions". What's in /etc/lilo.conf? (If you modified lilo.conf, remember that you must run /sbin/lilo to make the changes take effect. Grub looks at its config file at boot time; LILO doesn't.) |

| 433863 | 2006-02-26 03:14:00 | Lilo is templemental I have found in this sitution use grub. Grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu anyway. | beama (111) | ||
| 433864 | 2006-02-26 03:54:00 | Windows can be installed on a slave drive, however the boot files "always" get installed on the first drive no matter what. To make this easier, Windows should be installed on the first drive, and Ubuntu should be the second drive. (that's my recommendation and easiest way to solve this). To fix this problem, is quite uncertain to me, Windows will always try to find NTLoader on the first drive, which Windows may not be able to understand the partition of that drive. I also recommend using Grub than Lilo, any particular reason why you're using Lilo? Cheers, KK |

| 433865 | 2006-02-26 05:43:00 | I also recommend using Grub than Lilo, any particular reason why you're using Lilo? well i used grub the first time i installed ubuntu, so year later i thought i might aswell try lilo out. What's in /etc/lilo.conf? (If you modified lilo.conf, remember that you must run /sbin/lilo to make the changes take effect. Grub looks at its config file at boot time; LILO doesn't.) uh just the usual. i did makesure to run /sbin/lilo each time. |

| 433866 | 2006-02-26 05:58:00 | You know, you can get a dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows without using Lilo or Grub or whatever Linux Bootloader there is... It uses the NT bootloader. ubuntuforums.org |
