Newbie ask:

1). Install XP Pro. -> success
2). Then, Ubuntu -hoary -> success
3). Then, Grun for dual boot -> fatal failure
4). Then, LiLo for dual boot - in MRB -> no problem
5). Then, reboot -> no OS choice, always go to Linux

So how can I fix dual boot problem ? Thanks in advance.

帮不到你
从未装过 LiLo

修改 /etc/lilo.conf

不过还是建议删除lilo ,直接安装grub ,手工安装grub上去。

Thanks for the idea/link. Still in the progress. Will reply once
succeed.

This is for my laptop without a floppy driver, but with a CDRW
driver. So I tried to copy linux boot loader file to a CD and failed,
because I am not allowed to write to my CD writer (I am not an
owner ? ) (I tried to log on as a root -- just as I open a root
terminal -- but failed).

Could anyone give some help on 1). login as a root 2). using my
CD writer. ------ Ubuntu is actually pretty user-friendly, except...

Thanks a lot,

建议不要这样做，使用sudo -s可以切换到root帐号。

关于刻录机，我在普通用户下也是可以刻录的。
检查你的用户是否包含cdrom组

一般的使用者一般包含如下组：

adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin

请检查你的所属组。

Just let you know that Dual-OS boot is OK now. It is a little weird.
The only thing I did was just reinstall Ubuntu.

The only 2 changes I made:

1). No more sub-partition the linux part hard disk, I let Linux share
a whole block of hard disk, except it automatically divide a small
piece for swap.
2). Choose the default ext3, instead of previous JFS.

THen install Grub in MBR. ==> everything works now.

Thanks for the aggressive helps.
