Okay, I know, I shouldn't have been in Windows anyway, but I used
PartitionMagic 4.0 to adjust the sizes of my partitions and to create a
new one. Now, when it tries to boot, it says 'LI' and then stops. If I
use a boot disk (Windows98 Setup Disk or the RH6.2 setup/rescue disk)
then I can get to the drives, so I don't think the data has been
corrupted. I think PartitionMagic just messed up my MBR. Does anyone
know how to reinstall LILO there, or to remove LILO from there and put
LILO on the partition (/dev/hda2)? Any help would be appreciated, my
Vaio is just a hunk of plastic right now. E-mail me at olenik@purdue.edu
or post to the PLUG newsgroup. Thanks.
