Unless you have the complete package and the instructions it's not worth messing around with numerical algorithm packages ... and there's some very good advice in The Lord of the Rings: ".. never meddle with wizards, they are subtle and quick to anger...". And Gandalf was a good wizard. ;) Before you get the choice of "2000" or "Gandalf" does it tell you what the boot manager is? Does FDISK /MBR work in W2K? That would get rid of a Linux boot manager. You'll probably need to boot from a DOS disk or Windows CD to do that anyway ... I 2000 you need to run the Recovery Console (Which I like to add as boot option) and run Fixmbr. There is another one similar which I can't remember the name of but using the ? help file in Recovery Console will give you all the option's. As a matter of interest how did Gandalf get on your box. |

I may wind up just getting a new hdd for it, but I feel the gauntlet has been slapped across my face and I want to rise to the occasion . Dell Latitude P4 512g, orig with an XP sticker, but somehow it got 2000 and Gandalf installed . Is Gandalf some sort of geek-o wizard's program? It looks like it operates very near the kernal in all the stuff I've read so far . |
