If you haven't already done so, edit your /etc/lilo.conf to mount your root
partition as read-only (If I remember correctly there's an option for this at
installation time), then run lilo to write the stuff to the MBR. For help on
this, you can type 'man lilo.conf' at the console. If you can't
either a cd rom or a diskette )

As a technician I used to see hard drives act flakey but keep working.
It was a warning that they were going to fail. If you can verify that you do
not have a temperature problem (is the power supply fan working!), put in a
new data cable. If problems continue consider yourself twice
einstalled all ... and upgraded my PC but it still doesnt work
100% i cant mount either a cd rom or a diskette )

Yes, but it is DOS based, called Norton Utilities 8, and the program to run
there is called CALIBRATE, it does extensive pattern testing on the hard
drive. Although I have not tried it on a Linux filesystem, but I know that
utility can fix some flakey hard drive problems.
