Subject: Re: LILO HANGS-Linux Nor Windows Wont Bootup Date: Friday 17 Dec 2004 20:06 From: "Leonard Chatagnier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Peter Nuttall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Merry Christmas to you Peter, I downloaded the floppy boot program from TOM.net, found that I can't format a 1.722MB format on W98SE. So, I'm stuck here unless you know a way to get around this. It's too bad because this method looked the best for my situation. Thanks, I did get some insight into lilo from reading the manuals.
