Other Help Topics :: Error when booting



Quote
In BIOS, I have 'Auto Detect' everywhere

I did not mean "set to Auto". I mean "do Autodetection"
My BIOS menu have the option to do that:
IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION
Ok, i'll send my lilo.conf file on Your mail, because Winodow's Notepad open this file wrongly. But i can't attach file by clicking "Mail" here, co please send me Your mail by PM. Thank You for help. :D

@piccolo
My PC and BIOS is so old and i think i don't have that option. But i will check it. :) Thx
You can open the /opt/lilo.conf file using the Live DSL CD.
The Live DSL CD is really useful when is necessary the access to hard disk of any computer with any operative system installed to hard disk but corrupted to be used.

When you installed DSL to hard disk. Chose you Lilo or Grub as Boot Loader?.
You are sure you have one from both Boot Loaders was installed to Master Boot Register (MBR) of the hard disk?

If still you have not important information inside the hard disk DSL partition then you can rewrite the Boot Loader to MBR by execute again the hd-install script.

I sent you my email
I have just Linux on PC with this problem and i've copied lilo.conf by the LiveCD on the floppy and opened on PC with Windows and Internet connection. And I was asking NewOldUser for and e-mail, because He said He will look on my lilo.conf. But i will be REALLY thanful for You, piccolo, if You will do it. :D

I was installing DSL three times:
1st- LILO, but i had this  L 99 99 problem; FORMAT
2nd- GURB, but LILO was working o.0 and I had other problem xD- FORMAT
3rd- LILO, evrything was OK, but i have L 99 99 again.

And other question: Will formating my hda1 clear MBR? I'm asking to prevent same situation as at 2nd install. xD
Sympathetic Zoliax,
By formatting the hda1 not clear the MBR but each time that you execute the hd-install script automatically create a /etc/lilo.conf for you (If before you have chose the Lilo as Boot Loader) and if you respond affirmatively to the question: "write to MBR" then will overwrite the MBR.

According to your lilo.conf file you have installed DSL to hda5. When hd-install script ask you about the partition where you will install DSL. What you respond?
Not information about the other partitions. For example: if you have Windows installed in another partition then you can't boot it because not information in lilo.conf about that.
