I toggled hda1 bootable, so I will change this for my linux partition. Thank you cRaig from your answer:) If none of these changes will solve my problem I will reinstall. -- Tommi On Tue, 14 Mar 2006 21:10:33 -0500 cRaig wrote: > > /dev/hda1 * 1 9605 77152131 86 NTFS volume > set > > ;your problem may be the NTFS volume should be type 7 (HPFS/NTFS) > instead of 86 or 87, which i believe is for dynamic disks (partitions > spanning multiple disks). > > ;another issue may be that your /dev/hda1 is toggled as bootable, i > don't know for certain. i thought that the bootable flag was just for > linux, so is it possible that you toggled it on when you installed > slackware, and linux has this as your /boot in /etc/fstab? or did you > turn that flag on in cfdisk yourself? > > ;cRaig > > On 3/14/06, Tommi Tapani Piirainen wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have slackware 10.1.
