u can instead use Ntldr that comes with win2k. It works fine in my system.
type in the following command as root dd if=/root/hdax of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 where x stands for partition where u have installed linux. remember to type bs=512, otherwise(i am not sure) the entire linux partition will be copied to bootsect.lnx.(u know this is one of the wayz one can use to backup the data, and go ahead with formatting.....and get back the data) Now having got the bootsect.lnx, alter boot.ini to obtain a menu @ the bootup Regards bye girish m g ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vivek A.
