I would think it's something to do with the DOS cylinder limit. It's something along the lines of if you're boot partition is beyond 1024 cylinders then the standard DOS boot loader cannot work. Obviously things like LILO, GRUB, NTLDR or, as in your case, Bootmagic are a little more up to date and work well. > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Hanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 30 April 2004 08:51 > To: Libretto > Subject: [LIB] Another boot problem > > > Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 07:51:12 +0000 > From: "Matt Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Another boot problem > > Mine is more basic than Lee's.
