RE: How do I reinstall Linux

[Paul Hamm]

Use a linux boot/install disk/cd when you get a command line enter "linux rescue" you should be asked a couple of ??? keyboard and lang.  Once you have a shell prompt you should be able to "chroot /mnt/sysimage" to get your linux to load again run "lilo -v -v" which will rebuild your MBR.  Microsoft Windows always abuses the MBR.  This should get you back to the way you where.  You may want to alter /etc/lilo.conf and change the display name for your old windows partition but this is not necessary. -----Original Message----- From: Ing.

LILO was acting as Boot Loader.   Recently I installed Windows XP on the windows partition, but XP installed their own boot loader and now I am forced to enter Linux through a Linux boot disk.   Does anyone know how can I reinstall LILO as Boot Loader.   Thanks in advance   Nono
