>I booted my computer this morning, and after the video card prints its
>message, instead of hardware detection, I see a picture of a kitten and a
>puppy and the words "Gigabyte is hailing you."  (Gigabyte is my motherboard
>manufacturer, but in the year and a half I have had this machine I have 
>never
>seen that picture.)  Then LILO comes up, and if I choose windows I get
>"Read-only error reading drive C: abort, retry, fail?"  If I boot Linux, it
>mounts the Windows partitions read/write, no problems.  Linux lives on hda
>and Winbloze is on hdb, with drives swapped from LILO when booting Windows.

>Could something have flashed my BIOS?  I just installed the latest version 
>of
>the Trillian message client, so maybe it came with a virus or a new 
>exploit.
>In any case, Linux is working fine, but I may have some problems getting 
>the
>data from my Outlook mail files... could somebody please mail me the
>directions to or location of the ALE-Unemployed meeting tonight?

>Thanks,
