Hmm. Looks like something (the virus, windows95 during a reinstall or perhaps your anti-virus software) overwrote your master boot record. > Is there some string or sommand I enter in > somewhere ? any advice ? > ( Please take in mind I have only had Linux for about 3 weeks ). Here's what should work: - Get or remake the Debian boot disk (first disk of the 6-set) using rawrite. - Boot with that disk. On the lilo prompt, press tab and say Linux root=/dev/hda4 ro (presuming /dev/hda4 == 4th partition on first drive) is your Linux root partition. - Linux should boot more or less normal now. Log in, and rerun "lilo". Hope this helps, Ray -- UNFAIR Term applied to advantages enjoyed by other people which we tried to cheat them out of and didn't manage.
