We need to know if your using lilo or grub. Then you should post
the appropriate conf file. either '/etc/lilo.conf' for lilo, or
'/boot/grub/menu.lst' for grub. Also post '/etc/fstab' and the
ouput of 'fdisk -l' (you can copy and paste from Konsole)
If you review these files yourself and are sure they're correct
for your system, then running (as root) '/sbin/lilo' or '/sbin/grub'
should allow you to boot from HDD. Problem is if they aren't
correct, you'll prob'ly make things worse :(
An easier and faster solution would be to boot from the Mandrake
installation CD and choose 'upgrade'. Might fix it, might not.
I suspect this would only work if you chose not to install a
bootloader (eg, lilo) during your initial install.
