No - the old machine that was going to be my standby windows/linux machine appears to have died on me, and I'm looking for the lowest cost to get a working system again. It would hardly be worth it if I didn't have this apparently intractable problem of being unable to mount my new camera. I could buy a card reader, but neither my attempts with one, nor those of many other people, have been successful. And the new camera is xD memory, adding one further layer of problem. I had windows on this system, but can no longer boot to it. I can read the partition from 9.0, but lilo can't boot it. I don't know whether having win4lin on the same system has any bearing on this. All in all, I really do want some way to access my camera without having to go begging to my grandson for the use of his computer. Anne ...hmmmunderstandable BTW, not being able to boot to Windows via lilo - strange - has something changed the /etc/lilo.conf ? If I could solve this I could ditch the old one and save a packet. I think lilo.conf may have got screwed up when I was trying to solve the 8.2/9.0 stanzas. Some strange lines got added - no idea where they came from - but I've tried booting with them in, and with them hashed out. It seems to make no difference. But since they appear to contradict each other, they are probably irrelevant? When I try to boot to windows via lilo, it gets to Loading windowsOriginal, then hangs. This is the stanza for windowsOriginal (win98 on a vfat partition, first of 5 partitions on that drive). other=/dev/hde1 label=windowsOriginal table=/dev/hde map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 map-drive=0x81 to=0x80 The map lines were originally split with 'to 0x8x' on a second line, but rightly or wrongly I though that may be my fault through having word wrap on at one time. However, it doesn't make any difference to the result, whichever way they are, or whether they're hashed or not. I can read the partition fine from linux, under the fstab line /dev/hde1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,user,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 so the partition is not hosed. OR, have you tried booting to it with a Win98 (or whatever) CD? Could be that the FAT boot record is hosed up - or even that there's a slight problem with the lilo.conf... FAT boot record - could be. Would that mean fdisk /mbr, then Mdk install disk to re-write lilo? From a windows boot disk I can get the re-install option, which I suppose may work, subject to the re-writing ot lilo, or get to a dos prompt, but of course that has only loaded a virtual file system ready for install or diagnostics. There's no way to boot into windows from there, that I can see. I have tried a fd created as a win98 recovery floppy, and a cd created as an install disc. Results are the same. I hope you can see a likely cause of my problem. If I could mount my camera on windows on this machine I would be (relatively) happy, at least until the usb support is improved on linux.
