i installed q3a demo to redhat 7.0 and tried to run it but i just got a blank screen, so i decided to restart the computer as root using my reset button on my computer.
but when the computer tried to run LILO the screen just came up with
LI
and i couldn't boot to linux nor win2k. with desperation i decided to fdisk /mbr . because of this i got rid of LILO and the computer boots straight into win2k. now i can't get into linux. i didn't create a linux boot disk during install. how can i get back to linux?
i tried restoring LILO but there was an error telling me that LILO would be in the cylinder range >1023. so i just repartioned my HD to installed redhat again
" i tried restoring LILO but there was an error telling me that LILO would be in the cylinder range >1023. so i just repartioned my HD to installed redhat again "
does this not imply that LILO is trying to install itself onto a partiton boot sector, and not the MBR of the drive?
