Sousathe instructions I gave you were how to utilize the boot floppy that Mark sent you. If it doesn't boot your system it's likely because your root partition and his are not the same (numbered) partition. So use those instructions if the floppy boot fails the first time. -- Alan

Re: [newbie] --- mbr in the windows partition (Alan)
Well, I wasn´t followed all post. But I believe the real problem was Sousa have some files in linux he need. And is difficult to access to ext2 partition. And what´s about to access ext2 partition from windows to rescue files ? I believe (but don´t know) exist any soft that can access to ext2 partition from windows. It´s possible ? (sorry for my bad english).

Re: [newbie] --- mbr in the windows partition (Alan)
Yes it is possible to access a ext2 file structure from windows. I know there is software at www.hotfiles.com or at least there was a year ago. I couldn't get it to work but my friend liked it and it worked well for him. Sorry I can't remember the name but there is software. Mr. Smith Well, I wasn´t followed all post.

Re: [newbie] --- mbr in the windows partition (Alan)
My understanding was that his master boot record had been overwritten with the standard Windows one, meaning he could not boot into Linux. ie. What he wants to do is install a new GRUB MBR. The tool I was thinking of was "rawrite". This is available on the Mandrake CD, along with "rawwritewin" (same thing, but for Windows rather than DOS. You need GRUB disk images, and once you have them, it tells you how to install them here: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-grub%40gnu.org/msg00500.html Daniel Velzi wrote: Well, I wasn´t followed all post.
