Hello,

Using Mandrake 7.2.

My computer at present doesn't load Linux properly. I have a separate HD for each Linux and Windows to avoid 'dual-booting' and changing at the BIOS level.

At present the Linux disk starts loading as far as displaying 'LI' but not 'LILO'.

I have had Linux running on my system but this problem seems to frequently reoccur. I previous kept running the installer to try and cure the problem. This doesn't always work and the majority of the time the installer program is now hanging.

What is the cause?
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Leon.
