Mandriva 2007.0 boot failure [solved]

Hi all!

My Mandriva wont boot!

I tried to install some crossmeta drivers on my Windows to be able to browse Mandriva's xfs partition (Mandriva itself is installed on ext3 partition). I didn't like it, so I uninstalled it. I tried after that to boot into Linux but it shows some ext3 error. Can anyone help me to solve the problem, I really don't like the idea of doing all from start.

Just one thing: I have "IFS drives" driver for XP and I can browse my ext3 partition. It seems to be intact, so I wondering what seems to be the problem???

Thank you all in advance.

Cheers

Whooohooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

I've did it! I've saved my Mandriva!

 

Aparently, that program I run from windows rearanged partitions: sda7 changed to sda8, that's why Mandriva couldn't start. I've changed lilo.conf and fstab, after that I had to insert Mandriva DVD to reinstall bootloader and everything was ok! Some simillar topic here really helped, so I wanna say thanks to all of you people here!

 

Still left to get that Windows back...
