Hello,

I've set up my laptop to boot xp and BT 2.0, which was working fine until today.
when i restarted my laptop i got L999 999 999 999 999 999 999 half way the screen and nothing happens...

does any body have any idea what went wrong?


thanks...

Simply install BT2F over your current BT2beta.
Use the video done by muts : http://backtrack.offensive-security.com in dual Boot

You shounldnt have any problem from there.

Ok, thanks for your reply...

i just re-installed V2F over and fixed it...i think that my MBR went bad when i fixed some windows partitions...

if you loose you lilo.conf you can always just start with a cd/dvd and copy your lilo to your partitions etc folder...then lilo -v at the console....


thanks
