screwed up mbr
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Just installed Red hat on my windows box , zipped through the install and now when I reboot, lilo hangs,(it juat says li) I can boot to linux with a boot floppy or I can boot to a dos disk but when I type "win" it says dos ver 8.00 required to run this,(I have WIN ME) I did not make a WIN ME recovery disk . Any thoughts? thanks in advance Linux virgin AKA hooligan |
You might be able to get back into windows by running the command /sbin/lilo -u as root to restore the mbr. If that doesn't work, you'll need a bootable msdos disk that has fdisk on it and then run fdisk /mbr.
As for the problem with lilo, post a copy of your /etc/lilo.conf file. |

Cheers guys,
Fdisk/mbr did the trick , but it was my last resort , seen freaky things with fdisk/mbr, though luckily this time it fixed my problem. Hooligan |
