I don't know if this was luck, but I reinstalled w2k on my dual boot mdk/w2k, and had to do nothing with the mbr. It just booted as normal.

Thats just the only instance that i've heard of > that being a problem. I had a similar situation. Only booted to Windows once in the last couple of weeks but it hung and stepped on the registry. Quickest solution was just Reinstall. Worked fine for Windows but overwrote the MBR. Reboot with CD#1 in the drive choosing repair. Read the directions about using mount /mnt or some such and then running /sbin/lilo. Exit, Exit, Reboot and all was fine again. regards, Richard. > So...load away. > > Mark > > > > -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is confidential.
