[newbie] Problem

2000-03-22 Thread Diego González

hi
i decided to install mandrake like a month ago, so i used partition magic. 
in a few words, i had no trouble installing everything, so windows and linux 
worked just fine. but some days ago my installation of staroffice took all 
of my linux disk space, so i used to partition magic again to resize that 
partition. but after partition magic finished doing that, lilo messed up!!
i reboot my pc, but i just got this:
LI

(the same lilo message, but incomplete)

i could enter to linux using a rescue floppy, but i couldn't enter to 
windows.
i decided to erase all the linux partitions and restore my hdd, but that 
didn't work either. i can enter to the dos prompt, but when i try to enter 
windows, i get something like this:
cannot locate VFAT

what should i do? i have to format my hdd? because i have some files i don't 
want to loose. or could i reinstall windows?

please help me

tks
