Hi, I did the following events in sequence
#Installed Win2k. #Created Linux Partition using partition magic and installed Linux 7.1 #Linux alone was booting. #Modified linux.conf and executed lilo #Lilo boot was working fine with boot options for linux and win2k. #The same hard-disk(with all software installed) was used in a different machine(mother board different). #The machine was not booting(I used to get "LI" on the screen and nothing used to happen). #I booted using WIN 98 boot disk and executed "fdisk /mbr". #Now windows started to boot but issued a blue screen error "Boot device not found". #I re-installed WIN2k. #The hard-disk was taken back to the original machine. #The hard disk did not boot again #I reinstalled the win2k. #I booted linux with linux boot floppy and executed lilo. Lilo Worked and gave no errors. #I booted the machine and lilo did show the options for Linux and win2k. #I choose win2k. win2k starts to boot but I get the same blue screen error "Boot device not found" What could have gone wrong? How do I rectify the same. Two Questions 1) In the first case I installed win2k and then installed linux and executed lilo. Everything worked fine. In the second case I resinstalled win2k. Linux was already installed. So just booted using floppy and executed lilo. Now lilo boot shows the boot options (win2k and linux) but win2k boot is corrupted . why? 2) If I install the OS on one machine(motherboard) and use the same hard disk in another machine (motherboard), the OS fails even to boot. why?
