One way to test if your sound card is working or not is to go to the

Hi Walt,
There is a utility called "ghost" that is put out by symantec that you can
use to copy your redhat partition from one drive to another. The thing is,
since ghost doesn't recognize non-dos partitions, (at least with version
5.0 which we use) it will copy the whole thing block for block

If the reason I'm encountering this problem at start-up is
because, after formatting the drive in Windows, Linux doesn't
know the filesystem type, my follow-up question would be:
how do I get past the error (which causes the boot to
stop in its tracks) to be able to make the necessary change?

Well...yes and no. initially, no. i'd tried to use NT's loader like i
had previously done during the 95/NT/linux phase. but that *repeatedly*

there,so that it wouldn't be directly "next to" the OS partition.

Right. The copy is a little bit tricky.

You can download a full-featured trial of GHOST...and use it for free for
