It usually is ;). (Things always happen when you have been doing

Well, things had been running fine with my newly installed Redhat 7.2 system
the last few days. But now if I try to boot the system there is a "BOOT
FAILURE, Insert Boot Media and Press Any Key".
The system includes Windows 2000 in the first partition (partitioned by
Partition Magic)
Sorry to hear that.
I have never done this so I may be wrong, but I would now boot
from a dos diskette with dos version of fdisk and run "fdisk /mbr" a few
times. Then boot into linux and run /sbin/lilo.

Thanks in advance
This posting is a followup to my earlier ones about /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
and my
system's failure to run fsck after a power failure, and to omit normal
shutdown
messages. This aberration has been going on for a long time.

Got RH5 installed. The key was creating the boot.img disk from DOS. As you
suggested, NT4 somehow screws up the rawrite process.

I had this happen when running the Slackware distribution. The system
hung in X and I had no way of bringing the system down gracefully. When I
powered up again, I got that message.
Since I didn't know too much, the best way I knew of to fix it was to
reinstall... But I hope someone else her
If anybody can point me to a good solution, I'd appreciate it.
