That's usually the case of either a missing bootloader for the driver, or perhaps one of the cables to your hard drive isn't quite seated properly. I recall this happening when one of my drive cables had a short, and it was (of course) the drive that held the boot record. > ->This of course wipes over whatever the Mandrake installer did, > ->but at least I can boot windows to read docs and send emails :) Try reloading the boot sector - if you are using lilo, it's pretty easy - it even saves a copy of the old boot sector for the drive(s) which you can use dd to copy over. You might see the file 'boot.0300' in /etc/lilo or in /boot - in any case, it's the boot record for the 03,00 device (i.e. /dev/hda). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
