Hi,
I have a disk drive with Linux and Windows2000 installed. No problem.
Everything was installed when the drive was primary/master (the only one).
Now I need to put this drive into another computer as primary/slave.
I use Lilo and boot from a diskette. Booting fails.
As far as I understand a can use map-drive in lilo.conf only for a
"foreign operating system" which is Windows.
Is there any chance to make Linux boot and work without re-installation?
It is so flexible!

Thank you,
Andrei Somov
