Salamaaat Everyone, I know this problem might have happened to some WinXP users when they installed MDK10 and FC2. I always thought that this problem is GRUB and XP specific, but it wasn't.

I installed MDK10 (with kernel 2.6.3-7) with LILO on the MBR and when I try to boot WinME I get a message saying "Invalid system Disk. Please replace the disk or press any key to continue" or something like that (that message that appears when you try to boot a non-bootable device), did anyone encounter this problem? Any solutions?

Well, happened with me while installed MDK10 CE and I really got scared, formatted my HDD and lost alot of data :(

It's simple, just enter the BIOS and set your harddisk mode to "LARGE" or "LBA", whichever works for you.

why this happens is out of my knowledge, but I think MDK 10 official is okay. Anyway, please keep us informed.
