Help! Messed up my MBR (PART III)
Well after reading some of the LILO manual (which I should have done
more of!) I realize what I have done.
I first ran lilo with boot=/dev/hda. Since I didn't want lilo installed
at all on my P90 and I ran lilo as an accident I thought I may as well
try to get it to boot my linux partition on /dev/hdb1. So I edited
my /etc/lilo.conf file except this time I had boot=/dev/hda1. I read
that this is bad because /dev/hda1 is my DOS partition! So I really
hosed things up and had lilo on both /dev/hda & /dev/hda1.
Several nice people have e-mailed me and told me to do a fdisk /mbr
to wipe out lilo on the mbr (/dev/hda) but what about lilo on /dev/hda1?
Have I trashed my DOS partiton information? What can I do now?
I did run fdisk and the partition information looked correct. It knew
the partition was all dos and it was bootable/primary.
Thanks again,
Brian
