Although lilo can cope with the 8.2, 9.0 and win4lin stanzas, it can no longer operate the windows stanza. In an effort to find out whether windows is banjoed or the mbr, I used a Partition Magic rescue disk to boot from. This is the message I got:
Partition Magic has detected an error 116 on the partition starting at sector 25912845 on disk 2. The starting LBA value is 25912845 and the CHS value is 16450559. The LBA and CHS values must be equal Partition Magic has verified that the LBA value is correct and can fix the CHS value Would you like Partition Magic to fix this error? Although I know what LBA is, I don't know what CHS is. My hard drives are labelled by linux hde, hdf and hdg. Dolphin is on hdf, which I take to be disk 2. Should I allow PM to do this, or is it being confused by the ext3 partitions? I would feel a whole lot safer if I could get my windows installation going again. It is increasingly rare for me to need it, but it covers emergency use. Anne
