Hi,
I need to have windows installed for a part time job I may get, and last
night I attempted to install W2K.

Here's the partition info:
hda:
 hda1: 8Gb linux (ends on cyl 1023)
 hda2: 2Gb windows (starts on cyl 1024)
 freespace: ~5Gb

I booted off the W2k CD and installed windows fine onto hda2..  It
booted itself find and all was lovely and happy..  I then set the active
partition back to hda1 with MS fdisk and linux booted fine..  Lovely...

But then I tried getting LILO (on hda1) to boot hda2 and it couldn't
(1024 cyls limit).  So I then thought I'd just stick the active
partition back to hda2 and just use a boot disk for linux...  When I put
the active partition back to hda2 W2k refused to boot saying "Missing
operating system".  Where did windows go?  Is the MS bootloader in hda
broken?  Anyway I've just stuck hda1 back to active and Linux boots
again so I presume that MS's hda bootloader is fine...

And ideas on how to get this baby to boot?  Preferably without a boot
disk?

PS.  I do have the >1024 cyl version of LILO but my 1999 mobo doesn't
seem to be able to do it...
