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
