RE: [newbie] Thanks ----MBR Problem Solved

[Joe Tux]

Hi,   I had 3 hard disks with MBR problem before. It has been a year I hadn't used them... thought of making 'em as paperweights...   Heck, I had nothing to lose so last week I tried again to install Linux or DOS or Win98 on it but failed... then I tried NT4. Using the installation disk, I don't know how and why, it worked!!! All the three hard disks were able to accept NT4.   Well, again, I had nothing to lose so I tried to install Red Hat Linux 6.0 (which previously failed to install onto the harddisk)... much to my suprised, I was able to clear the NT partition and repartitioned it for RHL... Now I have 1 hard disk with RHL6.0, 1 with FreeBSD 2.2 and 1 with NT4 plus my other hard disks with win95, win98, win2000AS and my personal favorite, Linux-Mandrake 7.0 :)   really hate to admit it, but sometimes MS helps...   best regards Joe.

I replaced the HD with a larger one.   Be very, very careful with partitions when using dual boot.   Jim
