Hey up, I dualboot at home with Debian and WinXP.. My XP got buggered majorly so I had to re-install and of course microsoft being microsoft it killed my MBR thus loosing the option to boot into Linux.. I was thinking to get this back, I could spin off Knoppix and mount the drive mount -o /mnt/hda1 /dev/hda1 and then run lilo -v Would that work? TriG
