    1. You are asking in wrong NG, because:
    2. you better use LILO or GRUB as bootstrap instead of ntloader.
    3. And please, don't listen to advices to use smth. like
         multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(x)\lilo.sec = "SuSE Linux"
       It's wrong. You'll only get pain in ass that way.
       But you may use 1st stage sector of GRUB this way:
         multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(x)\grub.sec = "SuSE Linux"
       (_not LILO_).

     gkranis> If i make Lilo partition 0 active then everything lost and i must

    Read documentation on lilo _carefully_. If `man lilo`
    and `man lilo.conf` will not be enough, look into
    /usr/share/doc/lilo/README file.
