Hello all, I am wondering if there is any way to remove the boot signature off the MBR of an IDE disk without reformatting. In other words I have a IDE drive that thinks it should be the bootable disk, but it shouldn't be. Here is a quick run down of what happened: Redhat 7.1 on box with 1 SCSI drive - which has the OS and 1 IDE drive which is used for storage. I upgraded the kernel and when I ran LILO it(I) wrote the boot sig to the IDE drive instead of the SCSI. Rebooted and linux of course was FUBAR. I fixed that, but my SCSI bios is basically complaining about the boot image on the IDE drive and linux will not fully boot unless I removed the mount from fstab. Once the mount statement is gone - linux boots just fine. If I turn the drive off in the bios, the SCSI card no longer complains. Any ideas how I can remove the boot sig from the IDE drive without reformating? regards, rotbau _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
