I installed 7.2 over Mandrake 6.5 on my 2nd hard disk and it took over
three hours but I couldn't get my boot loader to work. I finally went
back and repartitioned my 2nd drive and installed 7.2 fresh and it only
took about 45 minutes. I believe that since I was "upgrading" the first
time, the install program had to verify each version and update as
necessary, which took longer.
I do have a question. Grub installed on my 1st hard drive, which is
Windows 98 (which I need to for work) but I had to recently re-install
windows to fix a problem (one of many problems with windows) but it
cleared my Grub. I got lilo to install but I want grub back. Any
suggestions on how to load it at this point?
Thanks, Bob
