Hi Linz I think you mean missing NTLDR. There is a good page about that error here
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm Basically - it is not linux that is causing the problem as far as I can see, it may be a hardware problem - or it may be a BIOS setting problem, any way read throughth einfo. One way around this issue is to not load lilo or grub inthe MBR - load it in the root of the partition istead and use a boot floppy to start linux when you need to - or even set up XP toboot your linux. This is not too hard to do actually - http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html is one of many web sites that explain how to do it (search google for "dual boot with XP" or similar wording. Hope that helps Linz. Busy this month as I am AP'ing by the way - really enjoying it too. shalom Lance ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lindsay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CLUG" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 4:44 PM Subject: Linux & Windows - linz > Jeff > Frustrations. > I've spent many hours today repartitioning Judy's PC.
