If you have installed Linux after XP installation and if you have chosen the boot loader to be written in MBR, this problem may arise. If you have chosen lilo as boot loader follow this: [You can verify this by seeing the lilo prompt while booting] Open the /etc/lilo.conf Add the following entries other=/dev/hd[x][y] label=xp where x can be a,b,c,d and y is partition number. For example, If u hv installed XP on Primary Master disk and on partition 2, give it as other=/dev/hda2 close /etc/lilo.conf and then run lilo It should update the boot record. After rebooting you will be able to see xp also in the boot menu. Regards, VT

Hi, I have written a socket program which connects to scs.yahoo.com(y! messenger service), but I get the "Connection timed out" error for connect() system call everytime. Is there any system call available to increase the time out period ? TIA! Regards, VT

Thanks punkisdead! I already know that we can convert ext2->ext3 while upgrading. But I have not tried. Anyway thanks for your reply! Regards, VT

Is there any utility to convert the ext2 partition to ext3 partition without data loss? Thanks in advance! Regards, VT
