need to reinstall mandrake linux

<< < (2/2)

Calum:
if you do 'fdisk /mbr' in dos then it will make your master boot record look for a copy of windows or dos on the first partition of the first hard drive and that's it. As i say, do that, then boot from either a linux floppy or your linux install cd and make sure you get your hard drive installation of linux mounted somewhere, then run /sbin/lilo if you use lilo, or do something else that one of the GRUB users will be able to tell you, to restore your boot record to its former glory.
