    I have installed redhat 9 on an old 8 gig drive with automatic
    partitioning but I can't get it to boot without the floppy. I Think I
    used to have windows 2000 or 2000 server on that drive so I was wondering
    if the ntfs file system was still intact somewhere. I tried installing
    grub and lilo but neither will boot from the HD. Any suggestions? The
    flopppy is too slow and I don't trust it. I've had too many fail in the
    pastpast.
