Ok... heres the deal...
Until yesterday, i had a dual boot configeration (Win98, Linux)
Patitionstions:
C: - Win98 (5gb)
D: - storage (2gb)
E: - Storage (10gb)
Linux ext2 (2.5 gb)
Linux Swap (125MB)
Yesterday, I got my hands on a RED HAT 6.2...
And UNFORTUNETLY... i let my friend, install it...
Now, I got Redhat 6.2 running nicely, BUT, I CANNOT ACCESS ANY OF MY DOS PARTITIONS...
When i boot, the lilo, WILL NOT recognise the "dos" command (which is suppose to boot to /dev/hda1/)
The error it gives me: "No such Image"
Now... In Redhats boot lilo configeration (in LinuxConf)... it gives me an option to set the default lilo boot to /dev/hda1...etc (which are my DOS partitions)
I have tried many different lilo settings but CANNOT boot into my dos Patitions!
I have Redhat 6.2 running nicely, but i cant see my dos partitions in /mnt/ (like i did, with mandrake)
Then i booted from my Win98 boot disk to see if fdisk recognised dos paritions...
fdisk tells me my 20gb HDD is partitions into 2 paritions, a 4GB NON-DOS, and a 15GB NON-DOS!
THen i tried to see what the DISK DRAKE in the mandrake installation cd told me about my paritions... disk drake told me that i sill had /dev/hda1 ....etc (same partitions as list on top)
(*this is what confused me!*)
Now... i really want to get Win98 back 'n runnin because i have some important data on those partitions...
PLEASE HELP! Now I'm very confused and dont know how i can get access to my dos partitions!
Thanks in advance! ;(
