Hi.
Some months ago I took off another 10 GB from my MS Windows partition
and created a second linux partition besides the one I already had
on my PC, and installed Mandrakelinux 10.1 there (the old one
was 9.1). But I didn't know all the things one has to be careful to
when installing a second linux operating system, (things I learned
later), so I did mistakes. Probably I installed the second linux partition
in the master boot record instead of the first sector of the root partition,
and also other mistakes. Anyway, after installing the second linux partition,
the old one wouldn't start any more, although I can access all its filesystem
from the new one.
Now I wonder if there is some rescue way to resuscitate the old partition
and make it start again.
Maybe in properly editing /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf the possible solution?
Any suggestion highly appreciated, I can provide further details when asked to.
Thanks,
Rodolfo

Time, me thinks, for you to learn about lilo.
To help us help you, how about you post here your lilo.conf and the
result of the " df -h " command ~ like so:
$ cat /etc/lilo.conf > /home/your user name here/a directory of your
choosing here/ lilo.txt
And
$ df -h > /home/your user name here/a directory of your choosing here/df.txt
They will be small enough to include inline within your reply email.
