a boot floppy is unique to your system.. my boot floppy won't necessarily boot your machine! |or |specify any method to boot into linux. please help in |recovering my linux. option 1 -------- Use the boot floppy from redhat (the installation thing that comes on the CD or it can be downloaded from their site) and at the prompt type "linux root=/dev/hdaX" where X is a number and /dev/hdaX is your root(/) partition. Option 2 -------- download loadlin.exe from the net get your kernel image ...you can get it from the RH CD .. or from your /boot (get explore2fs from the net to be able to browse you linux partitions from windows ***WARNING: don't use this to write into your linux partitions .. you'll fsck it up really bad! ***) then boot into Command Prompt Only mode (**not from the Windows Command Prompt**)and type loadlin vmlinuz-blah-blah root=/dev/hdbX ro (where X is a number and /dev/hdaX is your root(/) partition.)
