(mount -t vfat > /dev/hda1 /mnt)? If so, the fats are ok too. This is what tipped me off. It could indeed mount the partition, so I tried booting into win98 again and it worked. LILO was still giving me trouble when running it(NOT when booting) - something along the lines of, Device 0x0300: Invalid partition table, 1st entry 3D address: 32/1/0 (94) Linear address: 1/1/0 (63) I have partition magic 6 installed and when I ran that - it told me that there were some mismatches between the LBA and CHS values and offered to fix them - I said yes. Back in Linux now (and feeling much better) I checked with fdisk and there doesn't seem to be a problem with that partition anymore and lilo seems to run fine as well. BTW, do you know of any software that would be able to do something similar in Linux ? Thanks for all your help, much appreciated. Regards, Shri
