But if I were in your position I would first try installing grub in your Linux partition, and then making this partition active with fdisk. Next I would try making a boot disk with mkbootdisk (assuming you are running Linux). If you don't have a floppy drive you can make a CD with eg "mkbootdisk --iso --device=boot.iso 2.6.14" (give the number of the Linux kernel you are running). Thirdly you could install grub on a floppy or CD, and use that. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
