I installed Linux6.2 in my 20GB hard disk and later I used fdisk and a third party tool remove all the partitions. After that I installed Windows98 and rebooted. There is a message "LI" and then the PC stops. How to solve this problem ? Regards Sridhar NB nbsridhar@email.com

The "LI" message indicates that the Linux bootloader is trying to run. If you have your Linux rescue disk, boot to linux Rescue and use fdisk to sort it out. Usually W98 will overwrite the boot record; possibly it installed to a non-active partition? If you can use a bootdisk to get to W98 DOS mode, do fdisk /mbr W98 doesn't recognize linux partitions, this can be a problem. If you can get Tom's Rootboot from www.toms.net/rb/ and make the floppy, its an excellent rescue disk for most purposes.

Did you use fdisk (the Linux programm) or FDISK.EXE? From bootable DOS diskette which includes FDISK.EXE type the command fdisk /mbr HTH Stanislaw.
