This confirms what I originally thought; the MBR hasn't been written(this is done by either LILO, GRUB, or any other boot loader). # No I have installed LILO. I have used lilo since I got to know Linux which # was around 1994. I thought of installing grub but I do not know how it # works. The problem seems to be much earlier. My hard drive is 15GB. Oh, that makes things extremely odd. In that case, double-check that /etc/lilo.conf is correct, and then run 'lilo'. Does it give you any errors?
