Hi All,
Just inherited a wonderful new machine with 10GB and 40GB hard drives (both
IDE).
Mandrake 8.1 went onto the 40GB one with no difficulty, but now neither
Linux nor Windoze will boot (it was used to booting from the 10GB). Having a
trawl around the web suggests that I've not got the second drive set to
bootable (silly me), but should this be interfering with Win98 too?
Linux gives me that lovely welcome in a hundred languages, indicates init
2.78 is going to work, then hangs.
Windows says something about a chainloader and does the same.
Any help greatly appreciated,
Marek
(Still a newbie)
