Overwrite Issue Slack 12.2
Hi, I dont actually know if this fits here. Ok Basically I have a slackware 12.2 partition on the front of my hd with lilo on mbr (no boot disk made) and I threw windows xp sp3 on the 2nd partition and it overwrote my lilo on the mbr now i cant access my slackware is there anyway i can solve this without reformatting my slackware?

First, get a copy of this http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
This will allow you to restore your original Slackware installation. Then, I suggest that you move your Slackware to your second partition and reinstall XP on your first partition. Windows operating systems expect to reside on the first partition of the primary drive. Break from this at your peril! |

put your slackware disk in and read what the first thing it says. and type it just like that then after your started and in run level 3 as root type lilo and your back to normal. after your up and running go into your boot manager in kcontrol center and set lilo up to load other type of system windows. thank Pat for adding that option on to the disk for the hugesmp kernel users.
