Bud: You didn't mention what distribution and release, and whether or not you have LILO or GRUB installed as boot loaders. If you boot from the CD in rescue mode, I think there is a way to do this. But I'm on the road and not where I can experiment. Elaborate with more detail, and someone here will be able to help you.

I thought the CD wouldn't write anything until I said proceed with the install. Evidently it messed up my boot sector. Everytime I attempt to boot up from the hard drive, I get the following message: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER If I boot up with my Linux floppy, then the system comes up fine. Is there any way to repair the boot sector? -- Bud Curtis Colorado Springs, CO -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
