Hello, I came accross a big problem when I tried to install Debian linux : I can't boot anymore NT nor DOS on my hardrive...
Here was my config before i tried to install: PC pentium-pro 150 MHz with 2 HD and three OS : dos nt Slackware 3.3 /dev/sda1 boot dos partition 400Mo with dos installed on c:\dos /dev/sda2 extended partition /dev/sda3 swap partition 89Mo (for linux) /dev/sda5 ntfs partition 1500mo with NT 4.0 installed d:\winnt /dev/sdb1 ext2fs partition 1Go (with linux) I was using the NT boot loader which was installed on c: (/dev/sda1) and which was giving me three choices : 1) NT on d:\winnt (/dev/sda5) 2) DOS on c:\dos (/dev/sda1) 3) linux on /dev/sdb1 via the file c:\linux.bin The only bootable partition is /dev/sda1. Lilo was installed on the first superblock of /dev/sdb1. At this point I tried to install Debian 2.0 with floppies (but the install menu said it was Debian 1.3 ...). Everything was OK until I reached the base 3 floppy which was apparently corrupted. So I decided to re-boot NT in order to make a new sane floppy but I can't : the computer says me : "Missing operating system" First I thought that it was just because Debian has somehow installed something on the master boot record, so I booted dos with dos system floppy and I did "fdisk /MBR" in order to clear the MBR and I verified that my dos partion was OK; but I didn't work out. I also tried to remove the second hard-drive (/dev/sdb) but it still tells me : "Missing operationg system" Well I really don't understand because I've installed slackware many times without any problem. I hope I was not too boring and that someone may help me because I'm lost and by now I couldn't do anything at all. Thanks in advance for any help.
