Anyone have any ideas on this? Check the boot order of your system to make sure that the Hard Drive with the boot loader (Grub or Lilo) is first, followed by the CD drive. This should correct your unable to boot problem. If this does not fix it (either the drive is identified as unbootable or your system continues on and checks the CD drive), your Master Boot Record is corrupt. This will require reinstallation of the boot loader. This has been discussed before in the list and should be accessable through the list archives. Also, please do not top post in this list. It makes following the conversation confusing if you top post to a reply at the bottom. James McKenzie A Proud User of Linux!
