How can I make a new boot record and put system files on it? Hopefully, you created a Linux boot disk that you can boot up with and simply run Lilo from /sbin. That should re-load Lilo into the MBR (Master Boot Record). -- Brian Craft Registered Linux User # 210286 Linux Registered machine: 97873 Yahoo Instant Messenger ID: bcraft67 ICQ id: 129672292 AIM: linuxgeek67 Linux..the OS of Choice!

[newbie] Booting problem with Mandrake 8.2 & Win XP
I have a huge problem with booting my pc My configuration was: Primary Master: Win XP Prof. Primary Slave: Mandrake Linux 8.2 Sec. Master: HD with MP3¨s Sec. Slave: CD-Rom I installed mandrake linux 8.2 with Lilo graphical boot loader and everything worked fine... Then my Primary slave with Linux on ¤%/%&/¤/ and stopped working.. Now i cant boot my pc. When I turn it on it starts up, and when it should begin to read the hard disk, all that appears on the screen is: L 01 And it stopps. What can i do? How can I make a new boot record and put system files on it?
