Do you have a knoppix cd? * (see bottom) If not, get one (I have one that you can use... email off-list to get it)... Boot into knoppix, open a terminal, and if you're not root, type su, and give a blank password to get root. run 'fdisk /dev/hda' type 'p' to get a print-out of your partitions. figure out which one is the linux one that you normally boot into. Under the 'device' column, it will say '/dev/hda#' where # is either 1,2,3 or 4 type 'a' tell it the number that was in the device for the linux drive. type 'w' reboot, and it should all work... if you have any more questions, let me know... :) ~Erin type the number that corresponds to the -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
