Lanman and Hoyt, thanks for the pointers, Linux is back. I went the rescue root, which installed lilo. After booting up Linux, I tried "grub-install /dev/hda", but it gave me some message like "unable to detect BIOS drive for /dev/hda7". /dev/hda7 is where my 9.2 Linux is installed. So I started up the GUI and did it through the Mandrake control center. That reset my menu.lst to a default, but fortunately I was smart enough to back up my real one. Any idea what the GUI is doing differently from grub-install? -- Guy Rouillier
