If you didn't lose it yet, you might preserve it with dd, let the O$ do its worst and then copy the preserved data back where it belongs. dd if=/dev/hda of=/root/mybootsector bs=512 count=1 This should work if the O$ is to be re-installed into the same partition as before. I've done it before and don't recall having any problems; never understood about the "System.map", though. Maybe someone can give some more input. -- Jorge Almeida
