Chris, If you can't boot off of the HDD that is corrupted then I guess you will have to use a boot disk. I have the peanut boot disk (two disks) and would use them to boot up linux and then run fdisk or cfdisk (easier to use) and rewrite the partion table form that. Or delete the dama

pretty much any atapi (ide) drive will work. As should any scsi that has a supported scsi controller to attach to. If you want to get into more exotic stuff like usb or firewire then it would pay to ask questions about specific models and see if other people have them working. On Sun, 2002-05-12

I have downloaded the ISO images but I am having trouble creating CD's. I tried copying the iso image to a CD but it did not boot from the CD. (I have set the bios to boot from CD and checked it with my RH 7.2 disc) I tried mounting the iso image and then copying all of the files to the cd but
