what boot manager are you using?

if you installed win ME afterwards it overwrote the bootsector


Win 9x/Me doesn't respect existing OSes on the drive when you install it

This can be fixed by making whatever adjustments to your lilo.conf file (if you used that) and then re-running lilo to write lilo to the bootsector

(assuming you use lilo as your boot loader)



PS: lucky.... why don't you log in half the time? :)

OK first of all what boot managing program were you using before....

you would need a bootdisk to boot to your linux partition

I assume you had the dual boot setup automatically by your linux install program which is why you aren't familiar with how to configure it manually .... (?)
