/dev/hda

I also found that my dos partition could no longer be mounted by linux
and after starting dos from a stiffie, I could not access files on
/dev/hda1. So I reformatted it.  Fortunately I have backups :)

Thanks for your reply.  It seems that my DOS partition was destroyed
by lilo.  I could also not run fdisk /mbr in DOS.  DOS was complaining
that it could not write on c:

Regards.
