Thanks for the tips.  Since I had the Linux Boot disk, I tried as per AK.
I get the boot# prompt but I am not able to login to the root account. Am I
missing any step ?

Also I thought of reinstalling Linux 6.2 back again but it shows only one
partition "hda1", though I should be having two.

Any help ?

Thanks.
