Hi all,
Hope you can help me on this one. I've got 2 hard drives. The primary disk
has a single 18Gig NTFS partition with Win2k installed. The other hard disk
is 20Gig which I want RH9 installed onto.

I've installed RH9 onto the 2nd hard disk, and during this I installed lilo
onto the 2nd hard disk instead of the first one. After rebooting it didnt
recognise linux installation. Since then I've entered linux rescue mode and
entered /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda which was mentioned in a recent post in
this group. However now I get :
"GRUB loading stage 1.5. Grub loading please wait...Error 21"
and then the machine halts.
I cant even boot into win2k at the minute - even tried the win2k repair
option in the 2k boot cd but still no luck.

Anyone any ideas?
TIA, Mark.
