Im using Libranet 2.0?

Try using GRUB or LILO. I highly reccomend GRUB, but LILO is easier if you just want to try something really quick. If those don't work or you can't get to them, then I'm not sure what to do.

has anyone else had this problem, i havent been able to find it anywhere on the net

Okay i dont think it has even installed any of the operating system yet, so how would i get lilo or grub to work. Pleese help....

You don't have an OS?

I dont think it has gotten tot the point in the install where any of the os is even loaded on...

Well it seems it was just the HDD death. I formatted my 120 gb and tried it there, w00t it works... yay now to update windows-x for my radeon 9600 XT
