Re: Fool proof testing again...

A while ago Iwas trying to get linux to work on a second HD by installing as
pimary HD then swapping IDE leads etc. and using the bios to boot from HD2
without having lilo on my HD1. loads of error mesages ... like kernel panic
fatal this and that........ then I messed it up properly with lilo and I
couldnt even get win 95 to boot (I have previosly installed linux
successfully but wanted it on another disk) the way out of this was to get a
shareware prog called part beta (ranish patition manager) Its probably
harder to use than a commercial prog but you can change partition sizes,
make new ones and mess with boot sectors without wiping you disk, It might
get some of us out of trouble without breaking the bank. It says beta but It
seems to work ok. I found it on ZDnet downloads.
