Hi, I am facing a problem of a corrupted partition. My system is multiple boot system with Win NT, Windows 95 and Red Hat Linux 7.1. I have configured the NT loader to load either one of them. My harddisk was partitioned in the following way: hda1 - FAT16 2GB hda5 - FAT16 2GB hda6 - Linux boot - 15MB hda7 - Linux swap - 255 MB hda8 - Linux - mount point is / hda9 - FAT32 - 4GB hda10 - FAT32 - 4GB - mount point is "/WinPartition" hda11 - Linux 3.x GB - mount point is /home While setting up the dual boot configuration I used the following commands. # dd if=hda6 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 # cp /bootsect.lnx /WinPartition/. Then I boot the sytem in Win95 and copied the bootsect.lnx to C:\ and modified the boot.ini as required. After this I am unable to boot the system in linux. It says that hda11 is not proper. Is there something wrong that I did? Or is it a problem and should such operation be avoided. Note that the partion to which I copied the file bootsect.lnx and /home partition are adjacent. Please let me know your opinion on this. Thanks, Sathish
