After installing a windows boot, i then wanted to reinstall my linux bootloader, which i have had to do quite often with the regular reinstallations needed by windows ;) I loaded from my mdk 9.2 disc and executed the rescue command. This time however i got an error. I got:

Added linux *
Added linux-nonfb
Added windows
Added floppy
Added failsafe
Fatal:lseek /dev/hda3 : Invalid argument

Now im guessing there is something wrong with my hda3 partition :( what can i do?

Thanks

Well it looks to me as you've got an error in one of your lilo.conf stanzas somewhere to do with /dev/hda3 partition which you do not clarify as to it's nature.

Can you reproduce the lilo.conf here to look at ?
and what exactly is your /dev/hda3 partition ?

If you run the same procedure again to consul mode
and type something like,

cat /etc/lilo.conf it ought to display the file

then you can use the editor vi to correct it if necessary.
