Thanks for answering my question. First, I installed grub too. I mean, I
followed the procedures in the installation. In fact, I have installed
linux before many times. Apparently, It is not installing, I don't know
why. What I am going to do is I am going to use the bootdisk and then I
will run lilo.
Anyway, thanks for your explanation. It was really completed.
Thanks Diego

Diego,
You might want to check your system clock. Your messages keep showing up
as being sent two years ago, and thus appear at the end of everyone's
mailbox when sorted by date sent.
If lilo doesn't run and you can still boot WindowsXP, lilo didn't
install its Master Boot Record (MBR) - you're still using Microsoft's
NTLDR bootstrap.
There are a couple things you can do:
1. Run "lilo -v -v -v" (the more -v's means more verbosity) and make
sure it says "Writing Bootsector" at the end. If it doesn't say that, it
never installs the new MBR.
2. Install "grub" and install a bootsector. Grub is my personal
favorite. You will need to convert your lilo.conf lines to grub's
menu.lst format though.
3. Install lilo, save the MBR it creates as C:\BOOTSECT.DOS, un-install
lilo (it always makes a backup of your origional MBR), and edit your
C:\BOOT.INI file to tell it to boot to that file with the lilo
bootsector in it. This way you can continue to use NTLDR and still boot
to LILO whenever you need to from the multi-boot menu screen.
