LILO's now working(thanks!), BUT...
hi,
My LILO program is working, thanks to all the poeple that have
helped me.
But although my LILO is working, I now encounter another problem(MINOR).
As you know, i have dos/win95 as a master on the first IDE chain and Linux
as a master on the second IDE chain.
-After I ran "lilo", I reboot the system it gives me a boot prompt, I
enter in "Linux" and it loads Linux(it works fine). But when I enter "MS"
for dos/win95, it doesn't load.
-I went into the /etc/fstab file and try to mount /dos like this:
/dev/hda1 /dos vfat rw,unauto,user,unhide
but Linux says it can't find the filesystem, I tried "fat" and "fat16" in
place of "vfat" but that doesn't work either
-I then use the window95 startup disk to boot the system. At the prompt
"A:\>" I tried to change to drive C:\>(which is /dev/hda), but it says
"can't drive C". So I check the dos/win95 partition using dos's fdisk
and I notice that the partition type for the dos/win95 partition (which is
hda1) is now changed to type "NON-DOS". I remmeber it was type "vfat" or
"fat" before.
-I don't what I did to changed it(Could it be that I when mount
/dev/hda1 as /dos, I change the partition type?)
-Can Anyone show me how to change the dos/win95 partition type
back to normal? Or how to fix this problem so I can boot dos/win95
again without using the win95 startup disk?
Thanks Alot,
