You are correct.  I just told LILO to use hda (didn't think it would be 
that simple), and it boots like a champ with no problems (XP boots no 
problem also).  Thanks.  I even recompiled my kernel (first time) to add 
ntfs support, modified lilo.conf, and with no help I might add.  I think 
I'm starting to get the hang of this system.  

Thanks again
