Hello again, it's me newbie grasshopper merrick with more questions. I want to thank everyone who tried to help the last time, you guys rule. :)
I tried to reinstall Linux Mandrake 7.2 (the lnx4win version), but still ran into the same problem. Linux boots, then stops right after the line "Code: f2 ae f7 d1 49 89 cb 39 7c 21 89 f6 83 c4 fc 56 55 4b 8b". I just reinstalled Windows, everything is working correctly otherwise so I'm starting to think it might be a hardware problem. Any thoughts?
My second question is how do I uninstall Mandrake? I looked in the help file and it said that in order to remove the GRUB boot-loader I should "run the command 'fdisk /mbr' on the hard drive that contains the master boot record". That would be the hard drive where linux is installed right? Doesn't fdisk partition the hard drive and is that really a sensible thing to do? Pleath exthplain. Arigato very much (I'll be studying Japanese this fall and hopefully learn how to thank properly). :)
