I would say, based on my limited experience, your first step would be to boot from the install CD to repair the missing bootloader. I believe you choose F1 and there are some options presented, including to fix LILO and/or the MBR. Once you can get in to a workable system, then we can determine how to troubleshoot the other probs. My *guess* is, something in the boot process was fscked to begin with, and once you get the boot back and working with the 'rescue' CD the problem *may* be solved altogether. -- JoeHill ++ ICQ # 280779813 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Wealth is the relentless enemy of understanding." -- John Kenneth Galbraith
