Hi folks, I have a dual boot machine with Linux & WIN98. Recently I added a second hard disk to my system. I also had to reinstall WIN98 because of a virus problem. From then, I have been unable to boot into linux. One of the members of the list guided me to boot into linux with loadlin and a kernel image vmlinuz. But the file system is mounted read only since this is specified in the linux.bat batch file used for this purpose. I am not able to do any useful work in Linux. Neither can i can i edit a file or reinstall lilo. What should i do now to boot linux properly and how do I reinstall lilo? Thanks in advance for help.
