[Techtalk] W2k NTFS and RHL 7.0

[phiber2001]

Well, according to http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/lilo.html

I tried to dual boot RedHat Linux 7.0 along with Windows 2000 Professional 
NTFS. Everything went absolutely fine. When I reboot it gives two options 
as Windows 2000 and Linux. But when I want to boot from linux the screen 
goes blank with only a cursor blinking and nothing happens. But when I go 
for the option of booting for Win2000, windows boots fine. Then again when 
I put the LILO Floppy it starts Linux Loader from the floppy. But all I 
want is to boot from the HDD according to the
above-mentioned  link. But I don't know what mistake I made. Or it is that 
I simply can't dual boot NTFS and ext2.

My lilo.conf looks like this:

boot=/dev/hda8
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50

message=/boot/message
linear
default=dos

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda8

other=/dev/hda1
label=windows2000

My boot.ini looks like this:

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=5
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft
Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
c:\bootsect.lnx = "Linux"

Well, I also have a file named vmlinuz in c:\. I tried the whole process 
with removing the vmlinuz file from c:\.

Any help from anyone on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million.
