help with my linux.bin file for the nt bootloader

jjorloff1 · 01-16-2004, 03:03 PM

I am duel booting and i did the dd if="***" of="***" count, etc. and it copied the linux.bin file. I edited my boot.ini file to say c:\linux.bin, etc. and when i boot up its right up until the point where i click "red hat linux" from the boot menu. I checked my linux.bin file and it was empty. Does anyone have a linux.bin file or the text from it that i could use?

The linux.bin you created is a binary file of the boot loader and not a text file. For someone to send you a file they would have to have a similar installation to yours.

Check the original file lnux.bin? Is it empty? If not then how did you copy the file? Have you tried to copy the file to the c: drive again? Did you create the linux.bin file correctly?
