[newbie] Problems with W2K Mandrake, LILO on HD, not on disquette
Hi, I had an istallation of Win2000pro on my PC, and later I decided to install Mandrake 7.02 on it. On installation I selected booting on the disquette drive, but after making a disquette LILO "decided" to put himself on the hard disk. Now I can start a session with Linux, but if I choice "dos" the software gives me an error. I´ve about 2Gb of very important data on my NTFS partition, and the linux one its empty of works, just de OS. What can I do to uninstall linux and get win2k operative? It´s a question of not LOST data, no more. bAz Excuse my poor English, but I´m basque. Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1

boot with a system ( DOS , win 98 ) disk and use : fdisk /MBR then boot again and you will boot from win 2000. -Original Message- From: jr bAz [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 22, 2000 11:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:[newbie] Problems with W2K Mandrake, LILO on HD, not on disquette Hi, I had an istallation of Win2000pro on my PC, and later I decided to install Mandrake 7.02 on it.

Lesson #1. Any time you make changes to your hd make a back-up of any info you do not want to loose. To access Win2000 now use your installation CD and boot from your CD-ROM drive. If no one tells you how to remove Lilo realitvly simply I can tell you a way to overwrite it that will work but can be tedious.
