If I use hdc3 instead of hdc1 I get a blank screen, with cursor blinking at top left corner, I have to press reset to restart. That means my lilo is in boot sector of hdc1 > > > Is my lilo in one of the mbr? > >Yes. It's on MBR of what you call c drive ie. /dev/hda. > Or could I say lilo is on MBR of /dev/hdc, specifically boot sector of hdc1. Sorry for asking again......Can I format my hdc1(e drive).
