What happens if you try to boot one of the other two configurations? (first linux-nonfb, and if this does not work too, failsafe).

 

Hi scarecrow, thanks for replying.

 

When the Menu comes up, I have just the following choices -

 

Boot Mandriva Linux 2008

 

Boot Mandrive 2008 (safe mode)

 

Boot MS Windows

 

Going into safe mode, I get a script running, but it doesn't go into safe mode, just stops. At one point in the script it has -

 

Mounting local filesystems:

Mount : special device/dev/hdc1 doesn't exist

Mount : special device/dev/hdc5 doesn't exist FAILED

All OK now - just upgraded my mainboard and graphics card (was going to do it anyway), and I can now boot to Mandriva and XP seamlessly.

 

Cheers, Magwitch

hi.

 

Its been a awhile!

 

I just to let you know that I finally installed Mandriva successfully.

But I virtualized it using Virtualbox.

 

Thanks for those who helped me before. I always wanted to have a Mandriva on my own.

 

Here.
