}Somehow in the process of upgrading from a 386sx20 to a 486dx2/66 VLB, I've
}manage to worry my partition table. Lilo hangs at LI because the partition
}table has problems. I can boot off a LILO floppy, but I worry that having
}my partition table in a mess is a messy crash waiting to happen. Is there
}any way I can fix this without scrapping everything and starting completely
}over?
I had a similar problem. I have Windows 95 as my 1st partition on my first
drive, so that is where I have LILO. I ran some Norton utilities stuff on
it and it apparently hosed up LILO. When I would boot, it would lock up at
the LILO prompt. I booted from a disc, reinstalled LILO and that corrected
my problem. You may want to take it one more step by recreating your LILO.
Hope this helps..
