attempted windows install, linux won't boot
1. i tried to install win98 to play games
2. it decided it wouldn't get through the setup. locked 4 times.
3. so, i put in my debian cd
3. rescue root=/dev/hda5
4. it boots up, all good...
5. login, re-run lilo
6. lilo seems to work fine.
7. i reboot
8. I9990305 is all that apears where i expect to see:
MBR
LILO:
9. so i use the rescue disk again. i try loging in and doing fdisk /mbr,
it reports, unable to open mbr. uh, greeeaaaat....
10. reboot using the win98 cd to dos. fdisk /mbr. it doesn't complain
11. do the reboot, rescue, lilo thing again.
12. stare at I9990305 again.
does anyone have any suggestions short of never install install windows
_after_ installing linux?
