Hi My old HD which I had moved from my old PC to my new PC as master drive has 2 partitions, one for dos and one for linux. The MBR resided on dos.
I installed now a new HD on the new PC and moved the old HD back to the old PC as master drive. On the linux partition of this old drive I made a new installation of RedHat 9.0. The dos partition was not touched. Now to my surprise I cannot boot into dos. If I try I get the error message: this is not a bootable disk, please insert a bootable floppy. If I remove this old HD and put it into the new PC as slave drive I can boot into the dos partition of this old drive. How does one explain this and how can it be corrected that I can boot into dos on the old PC?
