I have a PC with 2 hard disks.
On the primary master I had Win95 and on the primary slave, I had WinNT
installed.
After a gap of a few days, last night I booted in WinNT and got some errors,
so I
decided to install RH Linux 6.0 on the primary slave.
For this I used disk druid to delete the partition and creat a new swap and
native
partition on the hdb.
All seemed to go well, and I rebooted the system with lilo installed on the
first sector of the second hard disk.
However, instead of seeing the lilo prompt all I get is a screen full of
00000000.
I repeated the install process again and made a boot disk this time.
But on rebooting I get an error of 0x10 as soon as it tries to load the
first .img file
I then tried to create partitions with fdisk and saw an error saying that
the number of
cylinders on the disk is very large and that this may cause errors with
lilo.
So somehow I managed to get the no of C/H/S back to 524/255/63 and tried to
reinstall. However I face the same problem.
Can anyone tell me whats going on ? Is it a hdd problem like errors in the
partition
table ?
Thanks
Shahed.
