To revert to a bzImage you simply strip off the ELF header, this should reduce concerns of the kernel boot format forking. For my uses an ELF image is the primary format I work with. In addition with all of these patches applied, the net growth of a real mode kernel is 35 bytes. An ELF header cost an additional 324

Lilo will not boot into my linux. I tried rescue but cant really get anywhere with it. I only edited the lilo.conf file when I think I probably should have edited the fstab too. Not really sure.

I beleive that Darryl was wrong in his claim that Fdisk FP 14 did rewrite the Boot Manager. Experimentally...

I was aware of two NTFS boot partition failures at my former workplace ... Boot partitions are outside of the file system. You don't have a file system before you boot.

Lost dual boot
Yes, your finding is correct: Boot with a Startup disk and visible. At the A: prompt, type SYS C: What it accomplishes is to overwrite the boot files (from XP) that were left behind when you 'removed' XP from the second drive. If you only format the second partition/drive, then the boot files are still there.
