Dear All,
After re-installing the system several times, I finally figure out tht the
problem is due to the LILo. After I remover the MBR under DOS and reset the
partition type by Linux fdisk, I can get back the partition under Windows
again. I think the problem is specific to the LILo version that ML8.1 use
because this problem does not recur even I write the MBR again using LILo
that are in RedHat 7.2
Does anyone had similar experience? Is this a bug in the LILo that ML 8.1
use? Is there a work around?
Regards.
KC
