restoring Lilo after windows reinstall
|
|
| American Pi 2004-02-26, 6:33 am |
| I reinstalled WinXP last night and, naturally, it ate my Lilo. I can boot
from a floppy, but I'd rather get the dual-boot option back the way it
was. Is there a simple way of restoring Lilo, short of reinstalling Linux
(in my case, Fedora Core 1)?
Thanks.

Boot with the floppy and issue (as root) from the console or xterm
session; lilo -v
See 'man lilo' for the details

IN RH9.0 I can use grub-install /dev/hda I assume that one could also
use lilo-install with the same syntax. I just had to do the same thing
myself this afternoon after having had to re-install Windows ME
