Hi, Thanks to Bish for replying to my previous query on lilo. I still have some doubt on lilo. As i have said earlier my linux native is in hdc3 win2k in hda1 and hdc1 is my e drive in windows. hdc5 -- fdrive
I did, dd if=/dev/hdc1 of=/mnt/cdrive/boot.lnx bs=512 count=1 When I select Linux in nt boot option, Lilo appears. <question> What if I format my e drive in windows? Does it remove my lilo? Is there any way to cut paste lilo to my linux native partition? (Remember when my machine boots lilo appears first, I select 'dos' nt boot loader appears, I select Linux lilo appears) </question> Every disk has an master boot record and every drive has an boot record. My nortron av show 2 mbr and 3 br while scanning. <question> Is my lilo in one of the mbr? </q> Thanks in advance, Liyju. >From: USM Bish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > Invalid System disk > > Replace the disk, and then press any key > > > >This is a Win2k error message, and appears when there is some >problem lies with the boot sector image.
