The only problem being that I resized and created a new partition with Nortons Partition Magic, then copied my old hda2 to the new hda3 with Nortons and it spat the dummy big time! Oh well, start again ;) At least I´m learning new stuff! I came across this fabulous CD a little too late: sysresccd<dot>org. I don´t understand why, in 2005, a simple thing like recovering from a boot problem should be such a comlpicated process. Having to learn a whole new operating system (grub) just to get a partition to boot seems a bit stone-age, and lilo worked just fine. Yes I know it is probably very powerful from a technical standpoint, but isn´t the whole point of computers and machines in general to make life easier? Linux will never be mainstream with this old way of thinking. Sure I can learn how to make a raft and paddle to China, but why not just get on a plane if I only want to go for a holiday?
