Re: [expert] win98,win2000 and Mandrake 7 multi-boot

Hi Michael!   Some operating $ystem$ have the not very nice policy of brutally overwriting the master boot record of your computer when installed. To solve this you can use your Mandrake CD. Make sure you've set your BIOS to boot on CD first, and then insert your Mandrake CD and reboot. When the Mandrake screen appears press F1. You will now be given a set of options. I'f i'm not misremembering you can type "rescue" (without the ticks) and hit enter. You should then get to a root prompt where you can type "lilo" (again without ticks). Now LILO will make all operating systems avaiable to you on the next reboot. LILO is more or less equivalent to grub, and I think you will feel comfortable with it.   I'm not sure wether you first have to mount your linux partitions before doing this. Maybe someone ohter on the list knows?   Cheers Robert     ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 7:04 PM Subject: [expert] win98,win2000 and Mandrake 7 multi-boot  when I installed win2000 professional on my computer(have win98 and Mandrake 7 dual boot using grub),grub disappeared,there is only win98 and win2000 menu when I restart,do I need to install Mandrake using update one more time?(I did so with win98 a few weeks ago),thank you in advance.   have a nice day, Michael zhao
