FAIK this will make the NTFS unbootable. I know nothing about XP, but I think the NT bootloader can be installed into the partition boot record where lilo can chain-boot it if you scrabble through the options. I suspect it will try to use the MBR if you let it.

XP will boot just like dos does, no problem at all. I have 2 machines here with XP and there is no problem at all.
Lawson is correct. LILO can't but an NTFS partition. XP may use NTFS.
Now thats funny then as i use lilo to boot XP, as i said, "no propblem at all".
You are correct. I just told LILO to use hda (didn't think it would be that simple), and it boots like a champ with no problems (XP boots no problem also). Thanks. I even recompiled my kernel (first time) to add ntfs support, modified lilo.conf, and with no help I might add. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this system.
Thanks again
