    Still having a boot problem. Got to work this morning and booted the
    machine (I had changed from LiLo to GRUB GUI) and got a GRUB error
    message #21 and then could go no further and had to reload Mandriva
    again.... Here's the system ...

    Dell Dimension XPS T600 (600 MHz) Bio's A04  Ram is 512
    X86 Family 6 model 7
    HDD IBM DPTA-373420 (running XP Pro - no problems)
    Maxtor 6L080J4 (Runs Mandriva - Boot problem)
    Video All-in-Wonder 128 Pro ultra AGP
    Monitor View Sonic E655-2
    SCSI Raid Controller Ultra IDE (not Used)

    This install is from the live CD Mandriva One 2007 which was
    downloaded
    from the Internet as a try before buy from the Mandriva site. If
    anyone
    has any more ideals I sure could use some help. Failing that if
    someone
    could tell me how to uninstall Mandriva so I could use this machine as
    simply an XP system I will build another computer and install
    Mandriva
    there. Thanks for the help - Johnny


Error #21 as per the grub website

21 : Selected disk does not exist
    This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full
    file name refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or
not recognized by the BIOS in the system.
You are trying to boot from a partition/disk that does not exist.
Could you please post the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst?
What boot order is your BIOS set to?
There is no need to reinstall for this error. Just boot into the Mandriva CD, at the first prompt type rescue and you can reinstall the bootloader from there. I have good luck with the rescue feature of Mandriva CDs.
