On installation I selected booting on the disquette drive, but after making a disquette LILO "decided" to put himself on the hard disk. Now I can start a session with Linux, but if I choice "dos" the software gives me an error. I?ve about 2Gb of very important data on my NTFS partition, and the linux one its empty of works, just de OS. What can I do to uninstall linux and get win2k operative? It?s a question of not LOST data, no more. bAz Excuse my poor English, but I?m basque. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
