Just hours ago I had a working, Gentoo/Windows XP dual-boot system. I then changed some partitions around with Partition Magic, and linux went out the window... Partition Magic turned all my logical partitions into one big jumbled pile of mush. Upon reboot grub freaked out (obviously), and I had to resort to the Windows CD (recovery option) to reinstall the windows MBR over grub (for some reason, booting off Gentoo or Knoppix wouldn't work). Now, I have a system that boots into windows, with empy space on the hard drive where Gentoo used to be (basically the same setup right before I installed linux the first time).

Now that my partition table is finally set up right, I want to reinstall my Gentoo... however, the Gentoo CD will still not boot. When I choose to boot from CD, it reads and gives me the first text-only message (i.e. choose your kernel, or press enter to boot), and after I press enter it starts loading the BzImage. However, right when it gets to where it would show the graphical Gentoo splash, the monitor flickers a bit like it's changing resolution, then nothing. Blank screen, and no hdd or cdrom activity. I left it like that as I was writing this post, and I think it's safe to say it's never going to come up

Any ideas/suggestions?
