: Linux can get screwed up and refuse to boot. If this happens, you

: Windows 98 system floppy, and running the command "FDISK /mbr".
: I've used this and it works fine. It restores the Windows boot
: loader on the C drive. I've been told it will even work for
: Windows XP, but I don't know if this is true for XP installed on a
: NTFS drive -- I've never tried this.

: The only serious problem I ran into was when I tried to use a
: third party boot loader. It got screwed up and left me no option
: but a reformat and reinstall. I've not had serious problems with
: LILO. It's always a risk, when you add something new. That's why
: I use a separate hard drive for each OS.
