what is this

(1/1)

sporkme:
red hat cd1 - viewed in windows d:\DOSUTILS\RESTORRB.EXE

readme says it can repair master boot record, thus possibly solving probs with windows stealing the boot from lilo?

lemme know

Calum:
let you know about what?

if you dual boot, you will probably need to reinstall windows every now and again (due to it being shit). All being well, you should never have to reinstall linux.

Every time you DO reinstall windows though, it overwrites your master boot record (like any good virus should) without your permission, this means you cannot get into your linux partition unless you have a linux bootdisk that knows where you put linux. i think.

Anyway, i suspect restorrb is for restoring yr boot record to full health after it's been windowsed during a reinstall.

sporkme:
yup just wondering if that was what it was for.  smart!
