[newbie] Where's my LILO?
My hard disk is partition into four, here it as follows: C, D, Linux Ext2, and Linux swap space. In my drive C, Windows 98SE is installed, in my drive D, Windows NT installed and Linux Ext2 Linux Mandrake 8.0 is installed. In my past days, after I installed Linux, I have always encounter difficulty in loading windows like it didn't load my windows or windows98 asked me to go in safe mode, this happens when I use Linux then transfer back to windows and vice versa, yesterday (Feb 21,2002), I'm using Windows 98. Whenever I'm online, I always keep updating my norton anti-virus, after downloading the virus definition in my norton anti-virus, we know that everytime it finished download the update, it always asking to reboot your system, so I did reboot my system. Here's the disastrous happen in my computer, I really don't what happen because everyday I always update my anti-virus but I think I'm not lucky yesterday because when I restart my computer, it didn't reload my windows! , so I press the restart button but it didn't work, I think I did this 5 times, but its not working. I re-install my windows98 but it didn't finished re-installing coz when windows update the configuration settings, it hanged, I press again the restart button, again, its not working. I'm get irritated so I decide to format drive C, I install windows98, and now its OK. My question is, after I format drive C, my LILO didn't show up anymore, what should I do? How do I return my LILO? How do I get-in back to Linux? Is there any solution to my problem? __ www.edsamail.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Multi-boot System Problem
Currently, there are two operating system installed in my computer, the Windows 98 and Linux Mandrake 8.0, every time I open my computer, it will automatically go to the Linux mandrake options whether to go automatically to Linux or I have to select what operating system should I used. I have no problem if I go to Windows, then restart my machine to go in Linux, but when I restart my machine using Linux, to go back to Windows, it will not load my Windows instead off it will hang or sometime I should start my Windows in safe mode. What should I do to fix this booting problem? __ www.edsamail.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
