Hey, That did it... thanks for the help! :-) goofy
Hi anonymous user 'goofy', a common approach is to have a utility cd aka live cd like knoppix. Which this in a cd drive, you would boot to run level 2 or the gui if you like. From there you would use 'chroot' to access the root partition of the drive and make sure to hand-mount the root partition so that it is 'rw'. once you are at the new root prompt, you can reissue the appropriate lilo or grub command. This is sometimes all that is needed. cheers, Kev
