| 75662 | 2002-09-02 04:45:00 | Is there a way to replace the boot sector. I reinstalled windows and it replaced LILO boot manager. I do not have the mandrake install CD's. I am running Win Me and Mandrake Linux 8.1 |

| 75664 | 2002-09-02 05:22:00 | It's not all that difficult. Make sure that you can recover ME if you have an accident (installation CD or rescue floppy) Basically, you need to boot Linux. Did you make the rescue disk (as recommended in the installation)? ;-) If not, there are ways around it. This has happened to many people, so there is a documented recovery method (dunedin.lug.net.nz). However, it would be a good idea to get the CDs ... |
