Bruno Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Sure we are using the OLD lilo from PCLos now . . . so Mandrake is not there !Windows is a problem . . . . the files are there though . . I see autoexecute.bat and \windows . . My Documents/ Program Files/:) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 We knew you would lose the Mandrake because you just overwrote the Mandrake Lilo and replaced it with the PCLos Lilo. It is as simple as booting back into the Mandrkae using your boot disk and rerunning /sbin/lilo to get it back.That said, tomorrow will be a good day to tackle changes as you must let Bruno get his beauty sleep. And you know he will not get that if he is worried that you are still messing with it!Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 I sort of gathered that Bruno because it seemed like PCLos's interfaceyeah mabe PCLos is enough for tonight HECK thats 15 hours in two days colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Colin, if necessary you can always copy over the files to boot from floppy to start windows. Do you not have a boot disk for Windows?Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 yeah mabe PCLos is enough for tonight HECK thats 15 hours in two daysColinI see some wisdom there.

AbeL Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 No Colin!Do not type just c:\ but you must type cd c:\ Â It won't change to the C drive unless you type CD first!Julia Correction Julia. In DOS to change DRIVES you do not use the cd command, if you do you stay at the current drive. Colin:When you're at A>, typeprompt $p$g. That should result in you seeing A:\>Now typec:If all is well you should seeC:\>Now typecd \windowsAgain if all is well you'll seeC:\windows>Good luck,Abe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
