You need a Linux rescue disk of some sort. I recommend Knoppix. Once you've booted from the Knoppix CD (I would boot text-only, i.e. Knoppix 2 at the boot prompt), as root (which you automatically are if you boot text-only): 1) mount -o suid,dev,rw /mnt/hda6 2) chroot /mnt/hda6 3) lilo Assuming your lilo.conf on your linux partition is correct (and, if not, edit it between steps 2 and 3), this will get it working again. } /e-m --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
