Hi all, I've installed Linux on my IBM Thinkpad R40 using parted 1.6.5 to shrink the ~50gb Windows (FAT32) partition, and lilo boots Linux fine, but XP won't boot. It gives a UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME message and then reboots. I ran a search and found a MS support article suggesting that I run chkdsk from a recovery console, so I did that and got "chkdsk found one or more unrecoverable errors." Dosfsck finds no problems with the partition, and neither does Win98 scandisk. (I can access the Windows files okay under Linux.) Anyone have any suggestions or pointers to a better place to ask this? Thanks, -- Michael Gorse / AIM:linvortex / http://mgorse.home.dhs.org -- A better world is possible! http://www.kucinich.us
