OK, I saw a few people replied telling you to use lilo. That is correct, except first you need to boot into Linux and mount the drive. If you have the deluxe version, call the Corel Helpdesk. I would be interested in hearing how you think of their support. The helpdesk will probably ask you to use the boot disk as if you were going to install the program. But break-out of the program, at which time you will be in a version of linux that will allow you to mount the drive. type: mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt This will mount your D drive. Then type: cd /mnt/etc Edit the file lilo.conf (you can use vi). Look for a line that says: boot=/dev/hdb Change the line to read "hda" instead of "hdb". You will also need to change the "image" lines and prepend the directory /mnt/ since you have mounted the disk in that directory. After you think everything is correct, type: /mnt/sbin/lilo -c /mnt/etc/lilo.conf This should install the boot image on the C drive allowing you to boot in Linux. Again, I recommend you call the HelpDesk if you are just starting with Linux. And one final thing. Just in case things go very wrong, remember you can always restore the disk to boot into DOS by using the dos command: fdisk /mbr Best of luck, Paul Borghese
