Subject: [newbie] Booting problems
Hello there!
I've just installed Mandrake 7.1 in my second hard drive. After
installing, I tried to use Bootmagic, but I found out that Linux partition
could not be detected.
This was due to a mistake I made when entering the partition name for
Linux during installation of Mandrake 7.1. I know, I should have noted down
this particular information, but I didn't.
Now I'm only able to load Linux (without any problems) by using the Linux
boot diskette during the start up procedure.
Is it possible to change this by booting using Grub or LILO or something
else? Or should I reinstall everything?
Thank you in advance.

Vassilis,
Log in as 'root' and click on DraKconf, then click on DraKboot. You can
reconfigure so that your computer starts up with Grub. Drakboot will ask you
which partition to select. Try selecting hda1. Don't forget to select
shutdown and reboot. The next you start up, you will see the Grub
bootloader.
