I'd like to keep my Thinkpad IBM WinXP recovery partition if I ever
decided (hope not) to install xp again. It is installed on a /hda2
hidden partition. Do you know what should I put in lilo or grub to have
it boot it?

I don't know, but I would guess something like :

title Recovery
root (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Should do the trick.

Thanks a million.
Is this for Grub? What would that be like, for Lilo?

Sorry. Yes, this is for grub. Can't remember what it'd look like for
lilo since I've been using grub for the last few years and never looked
back.
