mbr over write, not bootdisk can not boot into linux
hey guys,
i have a problem here. recently my sis reinstall my window without telling me first.then the problem come. my mbr were over write and i can't boot into my linux. cause i did not create a backup bootdisk. i'm using Linux7.2. last night, i try my friend's bootdisk linux8.0. but can not. i modify the "sysconfig.cfg file" the hda1(by default) to hda3 since my linux partition is in hda3. but still can not. i did try for hda1,2,and4 but the result is still the same. i know there was a way to create bootdisk from the CD(installer) but the bootdisk which i created is the bootdisk that boot to install linux not to boot into linux. see the different. so is anyone of you still using Linux7.2?can you create a bootdisk for me? or where can i find this bootdisk? is other version's bootdisk compatible for example Linux8.0? thankx, mch |
Try booting directly from the 7.2 install disc, it should from there you should be able to get into rescue mode. I believe there are instructions on the disc and on RedHat's site.

cd boot
Boot with CD, enter in maintenance mode .(rescue or something like that)
view your /etc/lilo.conf see if reflect your system settings if yes enter the command lilo if not modify your lilo.conf to reflect your system settings |
enter the rescue mode. oh i see. because as far as i do is i always enter "linux" when we need to select for which mode.
(and this lead me to the installation mode, right? not the rescue mode) Quote:
thanks for your help. i will try it out and let you guy know the result ASAP. mch |
barbanero and irish_rover,
i have done that. i have manage to reinstall my lilo. i boot with the CD then enter the linux rescue mode. from there i modify the lilo.conf file. after that, i type "lilo" and it just done.:p thankz you guys once again. mch |
