Hello everyone, my problem is the following: I have a laptop hp where I installed first windows xp home, then created using partition magik a new partition (with the swap one) where I put mandrake 9.0 on. Everything worked well since I decided to reinstall windows... I didn't pay attention and now I can't access to linux anymore because the lilo is not prompted. I have the three partitions, still. How can I restore lilo and access mandrake?
Someone on another forum told me to use knoppix, to boot as root and then execute the following commands: mkdir /mnt/linux mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/linux (hda2 is the linux to restore) chroot /mnt/linux lilo the problem is that I get the following error when launching lilo: "first sector of /dev/hda1 doesn't have a valid boot signature" does anyone can help on this issue? thank you very much, Enrico. ======================================================= This message has been scanned by McAfee WebShield Appliance.
