All she ever does is check email and she would have no idea how to do anything like setting up a dual boot system. I wonder if Gateway has some sort of setup in there...they are using their own splash screens and status displays... I think I'm hosed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hissy: |

The Gateway display should be in the BIOS itself. Weird that it's not using Lilo...that looks *just* like a horked Lilo install. To be absolutely sure, go to the prompt and: C:\ > fdisk /mbr |
