Hi People, Got a weird one here...
I've been setting up a new box and swapping things over from my existing computer. On this computer the windows drive is hda and linux is on hdb and hdd Previously, using LILO writing to the MBR on hda was fine. However, in the process of setting up the new box, something has gone wrong with the old: it appears that the MBR is not being read and I'm getting no LILO prompt. Fortunately, I can get into linux with a boot floppy, but the Windows boot floppies do not work - the system freezes. If I don't use a boot floppy I just get a blank screen after the BIOS system diagnosis. I've tried using Super Boot Manager - it installed successfully, but again nothing comes up... It's not the disk because I can still mount the disk without any problems. Does anyone have any ideas? At the moment I can't get to Windows at all, and parents are not happy... Thanks, Matthew -- Matthew Sackman Nottingham, ENGLAND Using Debian/GNU Linux Enjoying computing It said 'Required Windows XP or better.' So I installed Linux.
