Re: Linux 4.2 question

[Doug Donalson;]

If this thread started from a boot that looks like LI and nothing else
ie LILO is corrupted, I had this problem also.  Here is what you do
to rewrite the MBR.  Make a DOS boot disk, boot and then run "fdsk /MBR"
This will rewrite the MBR without changing any patitions (or anything else.)

Cheers,
