RE: [TCLUG:7674] Boot problems

["Hanson, Bob C. (PC)" <rchanson@printcraftinc.com>]

I did use Disk Druid seeing as I had never used fdisk before again I was in
a hurry to get it up and running. 

After all the problems that I had here at work I set up a new drive on my
system at home. It worked just fine, with my home system being identical to
the one here at work. I was wondering if I redid the install using fdisk
instead of Disk Druid would that take care of the boot problem?

I would like to have a Microsoft free machine when I get done.

Unless it was not the first partition..."fdisk -l" and post to the list!
