Hi syt,

Put Lilo in your MBR (Master Boot R????), on the HDD that your PC's
bios is set to boot  from first. If I remember correctly, at setup
time you can choose which OS (Linux or Windoze) is to be default for
boot.

When Lilo runs on turning on and booting your PC, you have I think 10
secs in which to enter your choice of which system to boot, or Lilo
boots the defualt.

As you have 2 HDD's, one for each OS, you may be able to choose at the
PC boot up which HDD to boot from.

I have a Pentium II, and on boot it listd the HDD's (ie Master 1,
Slave 1, Master 2,  Slave 2), and I can select which to boot from. As
you have 1 IDE and 1 SCSI HDD, I'm not sure that this will work in
your case.

Bill, (Just another newbie)
