Hi Coolvicky2,

You made the right choice until there, maybe except about installing lilo on mbr (next time install lilo in the partition where you installed linux)
Now you just have to add a line in your c:\boot.ini (this is an hidden system file) to display in nt loader an entry for linux and point on your bootsect.lnx ... it works fine.
