Sorry for the dual post, but I didn't include the subject line. I just installed Mandrake 9 over the weekend on my laptop. The installation went fine and had no problems. I was able to log into Mandrake and run programs. Now, I have an existing Windows XP Professional installation on the HD I wanted to keep, so I wanted to dual boot between them. I found an article on the Mandrake sitedescribing how to install Mandrake with an existing XP installation and dual boot. I followed the directions, created the 512Byte boot sector dump to a BIN file, and added the entry for this file in the BOOT.INI file. I was able to boot into Mandrake with the new BOOT.INI entry with no problem. I then wanted to make sure that I could also load into XP, since I that is where I have all of my data. All is working well.
Well, this morning I wanted to boot into Mandrake by selecting the OS name in the list, and I get the following message: "LILO - Keytable read/checksum error" What does this mean? Does the effectively mean that I'm screwed? If so, then how should I have done the installation for dual boot? BTW, I did create a boot partition (7MB) for Linux. Also, I can boot off of my floppy disk I created during setup, and get access to my Linux install. Thanks, Chris Lynch Registered Linux Newbie (well, maybe not...)
