I have my main harddrive (/dev/hda) as my Win XP partition, and a second harddrive (/dev/hdb) as a Slackware drive. Well I was having issues with the Kernel in Slackware, so I decided to jump down to a lower version of Mandrake to see if my hardware was the issue, or if it was the Slackware kernel.
Anyway, Mandrake loaded Lilo up on the secondary drive, with it's happy little graphics and what-not....
Well I found a fix for my hardware issue, so I deleted the partitions on the secondary drive and loaded up Slackware. Unfortunately, the crappy Lilo bootloader that Mandrake setup refuses to go away. I tried going through the windows repair disk and using 'fixboot' on it, but it didn't work. Tried partition magic, but unforutnately it was an older version and it didn't recognize the mbr of the secondary drive...
does anyone have any insites on what else I can do?
thanks
