Hi Guys,
I just put a new hard disk in the system and transferred all the data over to
the new disk.
The problem is now that I cannot get the hardisk to boot, I can boot both Linux
and DOS from a floppy. During bootup floppy A: is detected, and after that C:
should be detected and booted from, but nothing.
I have performed a dd to zero the first 512 bytes of the two DOS partitions.
Here is a copy of my fdisk -l command.
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 6232 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 1 813 409720+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hda2 * 814 814 1017 102816 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hda3 1018 1018 1148 66024 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda4 1024 1149 6232 2562336 83 Linux native
Partition 4 does not start on cylinder boundary:
phys=(1023, 15, 63) should be (1023, 0, 1)
Any advice or pointers much appreciated.
Regards
Graham

P.S. I have read the Large-Disk mini-howto and it didnt seem to help me too
much.
