Thanks. I have the tar commands from that how-to, so I'll go for the backup. If that goes well, I'll try to repartition the drive from the Mandrake install CD.. and try to get to a prompt from the CD (I managed to another time somehow :->), hope that I can access the windows partition, and try to untar my backup, and run lilo.
Does my idea of what I need to do sound on-track?
In any case, I can still access the list from Windows if I am having trouble.
Thanks, Asa
