Yes, lilo most definitely boot into these... for NT boot loader, do a search for "bootpart" which will do everything for you. Or, you can copy the boot sector of Linux partition to a file and manually edit boot.ini, using "dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/linux.bin bs=512", assuming that your linux partition is /hda3. I used the above method and now booting into 9 OSes on my box. However, I would recommand "bootpart" if you not comfortable with dd or editing boot.ini. Regit
