Re: Booting problem



Hi Kunal,
> What is the problem is my mbr changed?
Precisely.
	Since you do'nt've a bootable disk try this method instead.
	If you've the RedHat CD, go into Win98 and execute
\dosutils\rawrite.exe and make a bootable floppy using the image
\images\boot.img. Now boot the system using this floppy. You will get
the Redhat Linux installation screen. Here select "upgrade" and do not
select any packages for upgrade. So now the system goes to the lilo
configuration screen. Here you can configure lilo and reboot the system.
But from now on keep a linux boot floppy handy (use the mkbootdisk
command).
Cheers,
Hari.

Coffee was invented by two stoned mexicans who got the munchies, put
some 
beans on the stove, forgot about them, burned 'em, frowned about this, 
decided to make soup with the ruined beans, boiled them in water, tasted 
the beans, decided they were ruined, tossed the beans, and drank the
water.
