Hi,

I did some chance (better: I wanted to do some chances) on my
computer, put in a new 6GB drive and wanted to use my old Western
Digital (WD) Drive as new DOS drive.

My Bios is totally old as my mainboard. So I installed EZ-BIOS from
western digital. This make all 1.6 GB available for dos. Then I
installed 3 dos partitions (250, 1100 and 150) and two linux
partitions, one for swap and one to put the kernel for lilo.

Problems:

1. If I want to check the linux native partition with e2fsck I get an
error message with "bad superblock...". Sometimes if I mount the large
dos partition I get the message "too many mounts or bad superblock..."

2. EZ-BIOS seems to be in the master boot record. Can I still use lilo
then?

Please also send an answer per email. Any comment is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Markus
