It looked like it rewrote LILO - it added vmlinuz, etc but I got this mesage : Warning BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible. On re-booting it hung at LI again. insert 1st cd rescue mode chroot \mnt --to simulate your system init 5 ---graphic mode go to control center and reinstall lilo. hope to help afonso Afonso, After chroot /mnt I ran init 5 and got INIT: Switching to runlevel : 5 INIT: Sending process the TERM signal I let it sit for 10 min or so - the cursor sat below the above, blinking until I shut it down. Also tried re-install again - thanks Brian - It wouldn't let me choose upgrade - I chose /boot to be formatted. A message told me: "I can't read your partition table it's too corrupted for me :( I can try to go on blanking bad partitions (All DATA will be lost) The other solution is to modify the partition table. (The error is no normal partition in extended partition)" I chose not to lose all data and continued but on re-booting - hung at LI again. Also tried installing 8.2 after switching to boot from the cd but it didn't seem to see the cd and hung at LI once more Have I run out of options? Curt Just found Femme's suggestion. I'm off to try it. >Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? >Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com > > >--- >Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. >Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). >Version: 6.0.306 / Virus Database: 166 - Release Date: 12/4/01
