| Post subject: | LILO Updated, but get msg NTLDR missing (SATA) |
Req. Specs: KnoppMyth R5A9 AMD XP-M 2500+ (u/c @ 133*12.5) Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe 512MB DDR400 MSI GeforceFX 5200-TD AGP Two Seagate 80GB 8MB SATA drives ASUS DVD-E616P2 DVD-ROM boot: knoppix alsa screen="800x600" ... Followed manual install instructions for SATA. .... Paritions: (I haven't formatted the second SATA drive yet) Code: SDA1 Boot 2560MB SDA2 Swap 765MB SDA3 Cache 10240MB SDA4 Myth After install, but before reboot I updated LILO by doing: Code: mount -o rw /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 netcardcofig -> DHCP rm /mnt/sda1/etc/dhclient.conf -> yes cp /etc/dhclient.conf /mnt/sda1/etc/dhclient.conf chroot /mnt/sda1 /bin/bash mount -t proc /proc proc source /etc/profile apt-get update ... apt-get install lilo ... lilo -v umount /proc exit umount /dev/sda1 reboot Upon reboot I get the message: Code: NTLDR is missing
I figure I missed a step, think I need to manually configure the lilo.conf file. However, when rebooting with the KnoppMyth CD, and entering the console, I have no idea where I should go looking, or if I have do any commands to get to the place I want to be. I'm fairly new to Linux lingo, so explainations would be appreciated. |

You are clearly following old directions as you should not have to update lilo. As for NTLDR, I certainly hope you want to get rid of it... Boot off the CD and Code: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=512 bs=1 Or you a DOS boot disk and fdisk /mbr.

Thanks for the code. Saves a lot of time instead of going the Win XP boot cd, and loading the SATA raid drivers to clearn the MBR. The error was caused by a floppy in the drive at boot up. 40hrs without sleep makes me do dumb things. However I was getting LILO - Timestamp mismatch error, that is why I was trying to update LILO. |
