Hi, I have a deil Laptop with windows-me and redhat linux installed in it. Now the Boot sectors seem to have been corrupted after a windows crash(protection error). The PC is booting neither for windows nor linux now. Actually under both the OS the Laptop is booting half way thru and then gets stuck. Windows says protection fault but in the case of Linux "boot file systems not found" error is displayed. Is there any way to reinstall Linux on the existing Linux partition without overwriting the personal data files stored in the root file systems ? If so how to do it and what options to choose during Linux installation ? Also if I want to create a Linux bootable floppy disk from another computer running Linux, what is the command to be used to make the disk bootable ? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help in this regard. Thanks in advance, --Somen. ===== Thanks & Regards, M.V.Q.
