Hi Folks

Sorry for yet another inane question

When i installed mandrake, it asked me if i wanted to make a boot disk, which 
i did, and it made the disk and it boots perfectly. The problem is I want to 
make another one and cant. If i go into the control Manager and tell it to 
make a boot disk, it installed what appears to be lilo. And when it boots it 
says it cannot find initrd.img, which is on the disk but has a 0 size and 
seems to be their in name only. I have searched the hard disk looking for 
this file to copy it across but have not been able to find it. The original 
disk is a grub disk, and it seems to be empty at least it doesn't;' list any 
files when i do  a ls -a.

I am wanting to recompile the kernel( to support my AWE 32) so want to use a 
back up so i can revert to that when i mess it up (dead cert)

TIA
