Hi all. I´ve got a TC1000 and just can seem to get my pen drivers working. Can someone give me a clue? I have tried the groundstate tut but to no avail. Please contact me if yu have a TC1000 with mandriva running. So far I have the wifi going sweet. Cheers. ~fuego~

Swweeet! Got it all hooked up. Now I have heaps more packages available. This is good. Thanks Guys, maybe you can help me with some pen driver stuff now. But Iĺl post that as a seperate thread. Chur!

Hey Thanks man. Will try that, err am trying that now. You couldn't tell me what folder on the DVD is needed to be copied could you? Thanks ~fuego~

When I go to install something and other packages are called that have to pulled off the disc. I get an error saying Please insert the Installation Free DVD. I put the disc in the drive and it spits it out claiming it is not the one. It has only just started to do this. Before when I installed I ticked the box to have it copy the whole disk to my machine. So I was able to pull packages from there. How can I reset it to do this again? I have already tried doing an upgrade but failed to notice where I could choose to copy the discs over to the drive. Even though they are already where ever they get copied to. Thanks ~fuego~

I am just wondering how to restore my MCC menus to their original glory without having to reinstall. In my MCC there used to be a button where I could add and remove parts of my setup. This button has disappeared mysteriously. Can anyone tell me how to restore it??? Chur to the Chur. ~fuego~ [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman]

Thanks Everyone ! I have sorted it out. Now I can choose either operating system to load and it's all good. Here's how I did it. I left the partitions in the same order as described upstairs. Then I reinstalled lilo to my linux partition. Then I had to go into linux and open a console and make a 512 byte file of the boot to copy to my first patition. this was using the dd comand to create a file called bootsect.lnx this file was then copied to the first partition and the boot.ini edited to add the following line: c:/bootsect.lnx this will allow you to boot to lilo or grub from windows which in turn will allow you to switch back to the windows boot loader. so both boot loaders can now be accessed and both OS's can also be loaded. Thanks again for the input. Mandriva rocks!

Hey thanks for the input guys! I have unfortunately tried to put lilo on the first partition. When I do this I can select either operating system but if I select windows and go into windows and then reboot I will no longer get my lilo but just windows boots up. Any ideas how to stop this?

Hello esteemed Mandriva users. I have a boot issue with my XP/Mandriva2006 setup. The drive is a 30Gb with partitions as follows: 1) 60Mb boot Fat32 - contains MBR 2)10Gb WinXp NTFS 3)9Gb DataStash Fat32 4)10Gb Linux Mandriva 2006 5)600Mb Linux swap I first installed XP, ran fine. Then I installed Mandriva, awsome I love it. I reboot and am presented with the LiLo menu. I chose Linux. It boots, yay no prob. I reboot. I get Lilo menu. I choose win. It boots, Yay no problems. I reboot; it goes straight back to windows, no sign on lilo anymore. I assigned Lilo to the root linux partition on install after trying it in the first partition, still no joy. I tried adding a line to the boot.ini too but I don't know what file or location to point to to boot linux. I am very new to linux. 3 weeks maybe. Please can anyone enlighten me on this issue? Thanks ~fuego~
