View Full Version : restore Linux boot menu


hanik
AL salam alaikum,
I have two O.S. "RH8, Windows 2003 Server" so I configured Lilo to this boot menu.
but yesterday I needed to install Windows XP also on the same PC.
I need your help to restore my boot menu since it give me now a boot menu as follows:

windows XP prof.....
windows 2003 serv......
I tried to boot from the Linux startup disk but didn't know where to go.


Best regards,
Hani

do a little search and u will find many

please search the forum.

basicaly the solution is to use your first RedHat CD or some other bootable GNU/Linux CD to mount your own root file system, edit the /etc/lilo.conf file, chroot to your old file system and run lilo

cheers,
