Dual Booting between three hard drives [SOLVED]
Alright I've run into a few issues.
For one, let me explain my drive layout and then we'll get to the situation at hand.
Drive 1: Hitachi SATA150 Drive, 80GB, 7,200 RPM; Dedicated to Windows XP Corporate
Drive 2: Samsung SATA150 Drive, 120GB, 7,200 RPM; Dedicated to Slackware
Drive 3: Maxtor Ultra ATA133 Drive, 120GB, 7,200 RPM; Dedicated to data storage
Now on to my problem.
I just installed Slackware with my new drive configuration however the setup process claimed Lilo caught an error. I used the simple method to install. So I had to boot from the Slackware Recovery CD and now, I'm here.
I did some messing around with lilo.conf and tried to reinstall Lilo, to no avail.
Partition layout:
Lilo.conf:Code:social-burn@darkstar:~$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 24797980 2993028 20524948 13% / /dev/sdb3 86744416 35492 82231464 1% /home /dev/hda5 30709264 17389072 13320192 57% /mnt/data0 /dev/hda6 30709264 18461040 12248224 61% /mnt/data1 /dev/hda7 30709264 64 30709200 1% /mnt/data2 /dev/hda8 27859104 64 27859040 1% /mnt/data3 /dev/sda1 10241404 3387796 6853608 34% /mnt/xp-corporate /dev/sda5 30797568 28431728 2365840 93% /mnt/xp-appz /dev/sda6 31728896 64 31728832 1% /mnt/xp-various

Alright. Here's what I need to do. I need Lilo to be install on either /dev/sda or /dev/sdb's MBR. I need to be able to access both Windows and Linux from the MBR. This is my first time dual-booting with more than one drive, so bear with me.
I have another problem aswell however let's just do one at a time.
Thanks,
SB
