Hello my name is Roy and i would like to ask a question to everybody who
might know the solution.
I got this problem caused by my own dumbness ofcourse bet nevertheless it�s
there so i was wondering if anyone could help me here ...

The problem is this :

I have Win 98 and Linux together installed on my HD but i had a serious
problem with the win OS so i had to reinstall it but stupid as i am i forgot
that i had lilo installed and by reinstalling windows the whole bootsector
will be erased so i hav a minor problem here i got this 3Gig partition i
can�t get acces to i can�t delete it and i can�t read it
I trie with FDISK te delete te extenden partition but it told me he couldn�t
delete an extended partition while there existed logical drives on the
partition  so i tried to remove the logical drives but then FDISK told me
there wheren�t any logical drives so i got stuck there ....Maybe a lowlevel
format from the BIOS? no way that option doesn�t exist anymore in my BIOS so
.....FIPS didn�t work either so i don�t have my cd�s here what can i do to
acces my linux partition if i have nothing backed up i tried with loadlin
and it boots until a certain moment he �panics�about the kernel so i tried
to find a kernel but i can�t find a complete kernel compiled and all so can
anyone tell me please what i have to do ???

something along these lines
c:\linux\loadlin\loadlin.exe c:\linux\loadlin\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro
vga=3
of course your path will change around alil bit depending on your particular
setup, should be able to get loadlin off the linux cd, once in linux, you
should be able to delete wtf, or for that matter, you should be able to
reconfigure your autoexec.bat file with the one that comes from the win98
startup disk that is how mine is going, works perfect, asks which one win98
or linux, if your at all creative, you can have it go nicely...email me for
a more detailed layout of it :)

I did the same thing once with RH6.0.  To fix it, I got out my Linux CD (the
same one I originally installed from) and "upgraded" to the same version.  I
didn't repartition anything or change any packages.  About the only thing
the upgrade process did was reinstall LILO - no data loss or anything.  Good
Luck.
