Hello list.
I'm having a heck of a time with the "macmillian-mandrake complete linux
OS 6.5"
I followed the instructions to a tee. I even had linux running for a
short while...
however, I could not figure how to get rid of partition magic. Every
time I started the computer, it would boot partition magic, and follow
some endless cycle or rebooting <-> partition magic. Even when I
initially installed linux, I had to use F5 to break out of this cycle.
In the short run, I figured that I must of messed something up. So I
uninstalled the linux partition on safe mode in win98 (only way past
"partition magic"). I then attempted to reinstall another partition for
linux. However, after this new partition was created, I went into win98
"safe mode" to deinstall partition magic, without deleting the linux
partition.
I'm now totally, utterly devastated. Neither OS works, and I am stuck
in some endless cycle, where a question asks if I want exit dos mode
into windows mode-> reboot-> the question again.
ahhhhhhhhh... this is enough to make a preacher cuss. I really need
win98 to operate again
Please help!
