Re: Ught Oh =O
Well .. a common feature of most virus tools (Norton) is to clean up the boot block .. it looks like your boot block got swiped. Best thing to do is get a boot disk .. if you don't have one .. download one from a linux ftp site .. my guess is any version will do the trick. Mount your hard drive and rerun lilo. I know these probably aren't the best directions .. but it has been a while since I used lilo. -- Michael > > Hey everyone, > > Ught.. U...

Reinstall lilo from the base disks and you should be fine. Hope this helps, Shaya -- Shaya Potter [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Ught Oh =O
note that some anti-virus software will decide that lilo *is* a boot sector virus :-) so you may want to just give up and use loadlin...

It just boots into win - blows ( > oops, I meant Wondows ;). Hmm. Looks like something (the virus, windows95 during a reinstall or perhaps your anti-virus software) overwrote your master boot record. > Is there some string or sommand I enter in > somewhere ? any advice ? > ( Please take in mind I have only had Linux for about 3 weeks ). Here's what should work: - Get or remake the Debian boot disk (first disk of the 6-set) using rawrite. - Boot with that disk. On the lilo prompt, press tab and say Linux root=/dev/hda4 ro (presuming /dev/hda4 == 4th partition on first drive) is your Linux root partition. - Linux should boot more or less normal now. Log in, and rerun "lilo". Hope this helps, Ray -- UNFAIR Term applied to advantages enjoyed by other people which we tried to cheat them out of and didn't manage.

Ught Oh =O
Hey everyone, Ught.. U... Ohhh... Heh, I have a problem. I got a virus on my Windows partition ( And YES I did scan it first with norton ). But After I debugged, and fixed as much as I could, everything looked good... But now on boot up - LILO dosent show... It just boots into win - blows ( oops, I meant Wondows ;). Is there some string or sommand I enter in somewhere ? any advice ? ( Please take in mind I have only had Linux for about 3 weeks ). Aron [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
