I have win95 installed on the primary hard disk (1.2 Gig) of my TP760CD and Linux installed on the secondary hard disk (720 Meg). When I try to boot from the secondary hard disk (by altering the boot sequence to be HDD-2 followed by HDD-1) and ask LILO to boot win95 from the primary hard disk, it gives me an error that says something like "Invalid system disk" (like the error you get when you try to boot from a floopy drive without a bootable floppy). I can boot Linux from the seconadry hard disk without problem. If, however, I swap the two hard disks and reset the boot sequence, I can boot both OS's: Linux from the now primary hard disk and Win95 from the now secondary hard disk. Does any one know what might be causing the failure in the former set up? I like that setup (Win95 on HDD-1 and Linux on HDD-2) as it minimizes my having to swap HDD's, floppy drive and the cdrom drive (I seldom use the floopy drive and the cdrom drive under linux but use them all the time under win95). I am using slackware linux 1.2.13. I have enclosed my /etc/lilo.conf below. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Hira Agrawal. hira@bellcore.com -------------------------- lilo.conf ----------------------- boot = /dev/hda delay = 50 vga = normal ramdisk = 0 # # Boot DOS from Hard Disk 1 (the only PROBLEM case!) # Linux on HDD-2 and DOS on HDD-1, with boot sequence HDD-2, HDD-1 # other = /dev/hda1 label = w1 loader = /boot/any_d.b table = /dev/hda # # Boot Linux from Hard Disk 1 (This case works fine) # Linux on HDD-1 and DOS on HDD-2, with boot sequence HDD-1, HDD-2 # image = /vmlinuz root = /dev/hda3 label = l1 read-only # # Boot DOS from Hard Disk 2 (This case works fine too) # Linux on HDD-1 and DOS on HDD-2, with boot sequence HDD-1, HDD-2 # other = /dev/hdc1 label = w2 loader = /boot/any_d.b table = /dev/hdc # # Boot Linux from Hard Disk 2 (This works too) # Linux on HDD-2 and DOS on HDD-1, with boot sequence HDD-2, HDD-1 # image = /vmlinuz root = /dev/hdc3 label = l2 read-only append = "hdc=700,32,63" #
