Subject: [newbie] LILO and Disk Geometry
| just installed 7.1 over the weekend - all went well until the LILO
| configuration.
|
| I have put it on a second Hard Drive, in the /dev/hdb6 partition
partition,
| only LILO complained that this was passed cylinder 1023, but allowed me to
| continue.
|
| Now, when I boot all i get is 'LI', then nothing - I can't get to DOS or
NT,
| but I can boot to Linux from the floppy drive using the boot disk.
|
| The only plan I've come up with so far, is to repair NT from the Repair
| disk, and then put Boot Magic on (luckily I have Partition Magic, which I
| used to create the Linux partitions with in the first place) and hope that
| it will allow me to boot okay.
|
| Any other idea? I'd much rather do a quick and simple fix to LILO, rather
| thwan the above.
|
| Other than that, the installaton was a doddle!
