LILO gone, need it back!! NO JOKE
My setup is on a 60 gig hard drive. The first half was WinXP and the other was my Mandrake partitions. I formatted the first partition and installed Windows 2000. My MBR has been overwritten with windows bootloader.
when I did a freah install of XP my bootloader stayed the same, but know that i have gone back to win2000, it is gone. I have tried using the Mandrake disk to go into a rescue mode. It asks to reinstall the boot loader and it appears to run lilo, but that does not do it. I have a tomsrtbt disc but do not know how to use it to rerun lilo. Please help. Thanks. |
from tomsrtbt:
mount /dev/<LINUX PARTITION> /mnt chroot /mnt /sbin/lilo umount /mnt |
You could also do the same thing with your Mandrake install disc. Boot from it, and when you're presented with the first screen, press <F1> and then type rescue. It'll load up a menu. Select 'mount partitions under /mnt', then select 'Goto console'. Once there, type chroot /mnt and then type /sbin/lilo. Then you can type reboot and keep your fingers crossed. Don't forget to remove the install disc.
