If you have Windows probably this partition is "bootable", so don't set the linux partition "bootable" too; i used cfdisk.

i am using slackware 14.1 on vmware workstation 10....

You don't need to set Linux partitions as bootable

Thank u but if not set Linux partition as bootable then how can i bootable to my new LFS after completing build LFS....?

GRUB and LILO can boot those partitions anyways. They don't need to be marked as bootable.

Thank u very much moisespedro.......i am build LFS 2 times in past i did each and every chapter successfully but the end of it is not bootable into my new LFS.....i did one mistake my new LFS is replace into MASTER BOOT RECORD....i.e my host os Slackware is gone and also my new LFS has many errors while booting like error no image table press any key to continue like this.....again i restart my new LFS build in 3rd time.....i want to boot my new LFS but i can't do it......it is very bad time to me.......

Best to try this on a crash-and-burn system or a virtual machine.

If you are still unable to boot after removing the boot flags, it would be interesting to see your fdisk -l (that's an ell, not an eye) output and the content of the grub configuration file.

i am alredy use vmware workstation 10. while booting LFS caps lock and scroll lock lights bliking continueosly.....in the commoand line it displays a grub> like this......i don't know wt to do.....if u know abt this plzzz help me..

Not trying to be rude but it is really hard to understand what problems you are having.

last time when creating partition for LFS same previous error is Wrote partitiMore than one primary partition is marked bootable. DOS MBR cannot boot this. the following error is occur but i am not notice that contine installing pakages...but rebooting the system it's not load NEW LFS some people suggest me that u should install GRUB 2 pckage when installing GRUB2 package i made a big mistake that is my new LFS replaced with MASTER BOOT RECORD so my host Slackware is GONE but still it doesn't load LFS when LOADING my caps-lock&scroll lock lights are blinking....so again i restart build my new LFS it is a 3rd time....

You may want to proofread what you are writing. Hint: There is a preview button.
I agree with moisespedro that it is not clear what your problem is, except that lights on your keyboard are blinking.

If you overwrote your MBR, you can bring it back with the help of a LiveCD.

Thanks for ur suggestion.Did u mean LFS live cd or any other....?

i am beginer in learning Linux...thanks in advance..

Any LiveCD would do. You should have no trouble finding recipes for MBR repair.

If you are a beginner, by the way, LFS is not for you.

Neither is it mine. I don't care for grammar mistakes, but you may want to think about structuring your texts a bit.

Thanks for your suggestion......
