From: glenn@cs.utexas.edu (Glenn G. Lai) Subject: Can't boot from hard drive Date: 26 Sep 1992 22:02:54 GMT
I recently got a 207-MB Western Digital Caviar 2200. I first tried allocating
the entire drive to DOS; no problems--I could boot from the hard drive. I
then repartitioned the drive, reserved /dev/hda1 (31MB) for DOS, and installed
0.97p2. Now I can no longer boot DOS from the hard drive; I've tested this
on three different motherboards and three different IDE controllers. Of all
the DOS disk utilities I've tried, none complained about any bad sectors.
I suspect that my attempt at using lilo (?) caused this to happen. Any
ideas on how to fix this?
