If Windows is quite happy to sit on the third partition, then I would just leave it there. Just a bit unusual to create free space at the beginning of a drive that is all :) Once you have your HDD sorted out again, try running the /sbin/lilo command. Although, looking at your previous attempt output it didn't mention that it had added Windows, but only YOS to the bootmanager ... Actually seeing as Yoper is really fast to install, I would probably install it again once the HDD is back on Primary Master and let Lilo find Windows at that stage - you will be getting an expert at installing Yoper at this rate :D |

| 295226 | 2004-11-30 10:26:00 | I would agree with re-installing Yoper - As it'll automatically update your fstab etc amongst other things.... You'll save yourself brain-strain in the long run by spending 20 mins and re-installing Yoper once you've moved the HDD :-) Chill. |

| 295227 | 2004-12-04 00:43:00 | yes! i have yoper installed:D:D:D and i can even boot back into windows:D brilliant. i got the cables this morning and installed them and hooked up my hdd as a primary master and so on, i went to install it again but no go, talked to chill on msn and he said to try formating in a different type and use grub and that didnt go, so i had another shot and it asked me were to put the boot loader, every time i saw this i entered hda1 [because this is were linux would be installed] but then this time i installed it on hda and it worked and all is good. _but_ i cant seem to get on the internet in yoper, how do i install my modem?, i had a look and it does know it is a pci modem named ambient technologies inc modem but i just cant get it to go, what can i do? a massive thanks to Murray P for the yoper cd, Jen C, Chilling_Silence and others that helped, :D |

| 295229 | 2004-12-04 07:27:00 | Grab this: linmodems.technion.ac.il In Linux, copy it to a native linux partition (They warn against running it from a Fat32 partition) and type: tar xvzf scanModem.gz ./scanModem Then copy the directory Modem to your windows partition again.... and paste Modem.txt here :-) We can help you from there.... Chill. |

| 295230 | 2004-12-04 12:08:00 | Oh no.. The winmodem trap. I'll have to be honest with you. If you have any old external modems, use them instead. It'll save you a world of hassle. I just about went crazy trying to get my so-called hardware internal modem operating. Once I replaced it with an old dynalink rural external modem, it only took about 20 seconds to get it up and running. That said, yours might be a quite different experience though. | Catweazle (2535) | ||
| 295231 | 2004-12-05 21:24:00 | It took me about 10 mins of Googl'ing to find an rpm for my modem when my family used Ark Linux for a short while before going Dial-Up. Most arent too bad, but then again Ive heard some horror stories. Qmb.co.nz do a $14 modem last I checked and it had linux drivers on the CD for the 2.4.x kernel (No good if, like me, you've used nothing but 2.6.x since it came out in Dec '03). I am told external Serial/USB Modems are the best though. Chill. |
