RE: [[newbie] Autoboot Patch]
Jaguar, Thanks for help but yes it just locks up the PC during boot. What I am trying to do is save the patch to my bootdisk. I go to the Mandrake web site and have found the patch but when I try to save it to my boot disk it states that the disk is not formatted. Not sure is this is because I am using windows or not but I need this fix.

RE: [[newbie] Autoboot Patch]
try pressing crtl+alt+F12 this is the log screen (i believe) you can press crtl+alt+F1 to bring you back to the main console screen. AMD is an automount for network shares, sits about on my computer for ages as well(probably because i only have the network half setup). -Original Message- From: Jaguar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 May 2000 15:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [[newbie] Autoboot Patch] Are you sure it has totaly stopped???
