Dual booting XP/MDK 10.1 problem
Hello everyone!
Let me start off describing my previous working configuration: I had C, D and E drive and a Windows XP Pro. I had the XP on C and installed Mandrake Linux 10.1 on drive D successfully and one day I decided to format my hard disk and install everything once again. Now, I partitioned my hard disk like: 10 GB for drive C ( Windows XP installation ) 20 GB for drive D ( Windows XP programs ) and the rest of 80 GB I left it for Linux. I installed Windows with no problem and as I tried to install Linux, I let it automatically partition the 80GB. I installed LILO as my boot loader and then, when it asked me to install updates, I clicked OK and after sometime I got error messages regarding linux being unable to install the updates. It gave me two option to continue installing the rest of the updates or exiting. I chose EXIT and it restarted. After my computer was up, it just showed: "L" and got stuck. I tried to reinstall the lilo by inserting installation CD and typing rescue in the prompt. but it didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks alot!! A.R.N. |
First off reinstall Linux again and don't use the update utility.
If you are desperate to use XP again you can use rescue mode from the XP CD. |
