I also use Ghost, but haven't figured out the MBR trick. The Symantec web site says Ghost supports LILO, and recommends a strategy similar to the above when there's a boot problem. Does anyone know the incantations for fixing LILO in the MBR using a rescue/live disk? TIA, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
