Well, here's another problem I ran into upgrading to 7.1. I tried
specifying LILO when DrakConf asked me which bootloader to use. The
lilo configuration returned a syntax error. I went ahead and chose
GRUB. when I booted to my first hard drive....LILO stopped after the I,
so I used my handy dandy dos boot disk to do a fdisk /mbr. C: drive
returned an error, and I couldn't get a directory listing on it. Upon
rebooting...I got GRUB, and tried to choose windows to boot from, and I
get a loop...no winslows boot. GRUB booted me into linux, and upon
examining HDA1 there, all of the winslows data files are accessible. I
just can't get fdisk to do anything to the drive now, and can't boot
into winslows. There are a couple of utilities there that I use from
time to time.
Has anyone run into a similar situation?
Thanks.
Harry
