dadyassa Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Dont know about Linux, but do you think it is still trying to boot from Linux ?Have you got another OS on the drive ?I just googled the error, but only foreign pages are listed and the translation leaves a lot to be desired. :) translated from FrenchIt appears that the error shows when it is a duff installation and cant load.From another forum "For L99 99 99 it is about a bad installation of lilo. Often by making a chroot thereafter and by thus reinstalling lilo or by putting grub one regulates the problem: mrgreen:" sorry about translation ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 see chris's guide for running the recovery console, and use the fix mbr command and you should find that sorts it. I've been in the same situation :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
