Effectively, if you reinstalled Linux, the boot0, have gone. > The CompUSA support people that I talked to said that there is no > way I could recover just the bootsector - they could recover to the > original configuration shipped.

So here is what I propose to do : They're (unfortunately) right, MacroSOB products don't care about other OS; making 'fdisk /MBR' will bring you back to the beginning... winbrock only... You MUST have a Linux boot floppy to reboot under it, and re-run lilo to recover your multi-boot (silly, isn't it?) -- Jean-Yves Barbier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Membre fondateur du CGE "L'amour sans passion, c'est une réforme sans pension."
