Well, guess who messed up the master boot record. Yep, me. Being the intelligent guy I am(:oops:), I assumed that lilo -u (which I read about in Red Hat Linux for dummies) uninstalled lilo completely (not just revert to an old save state). So, I ran it again to make sure it was gone, and was informed that I have to run lilo -U if I know what I was doing. Well, I though I did. Long story short, I didn't. Now, I can't get into XP at all. Also, when I installed redhat, I used to get the option to have "dos" as a bottable option, but that no longer appears. Is there any way to fix this, or should I scrap everything (both harddrives) and start over from scratch. I was planning on doing a fresh install of xp soon (but not this soon). Also, I made a backup cd of everything I could think of that might need to be saved incase linux screwed something up (or rather me messing with it), but there are a few things that I would like to check, to ensure that they are saved on the disk. Is there any way to view my xp hard drive from linux?
