Computer Freezing Up When on Bootloader
 
Before I start I am a :newbie: soo this might be a really stupid question. I was trying to re-install mandrake 10.0 on my old Dell XPS T500, on which I have run Mandrake for the last 2 years, but when I go to boot it freezes after saying 'booting Linux'. I think it might be a 4gb hard drive I installed to use as a swap space, but I have done this before. I had tried many times to re-install Mandrake but nothing worked, I even switched from lilo to Grub to see if the bootloader was the problem, but it wasn't. Would taking the 4gb HD out solve my problem :confused: ? Thanks in advance.

is it all on one partition? do you have the right partition set as bootable?

Yes the Linux is all on one partition. Also the whole second HD is swap. And yes the Mandrake partition is the one set to boot off of.
