[ILUG] [slightly OT] Linux and NT

[Conor Lennon]

Well that could be a problem.
I installed Corel Linux, then resized some partitions.
This prevented Lilo from working, so I re-installed Corel Linux.

So what is the 'proper NT way of doing things for this one'
I tried reinstalling NT.  It restored the boot settings, but left Lilo
as it was.
Does the NT mbr reside in the same location as lilo?
