Is it the floppy disk or the hard drive that failed? Can you boot the installed system from the cd? Or from windows with loadlin? Greg Norm Legare wrote:
Hi All,
My desktop has 2 hard drives, one with Windows, one with Linux. By inserting the floppy, it boots Linux. Unfortunately, the floppy just stopped working (I get the Linux prompt, but then booting reports disk failure) for some reason. I need to retrieve several files on the Linux hard drive. I have RedHat 7.1 on cd. Can a new boot floppy be made while preserving the existing Linux installation?
Thanks, Norm
