Assuming that you have access to your os, run
mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 --verbose <kernel_version> where <kernel_version> is the suffix you see on the kernel file in /boot. For example, if your kernel is /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10, use use the 2.7.2-10 string as the <kernel_version> on the command line above. alina |
thank you for your kind advice
but the thing is i dont have access to my o.s. i cant boot it up because i dont have the boot disk any other advice you may have please tell me thank you |
