New Haven't deat with 9x machines in a while but...
I seem to recall that the system files had to be in a particular place on the partition. I think there is a "sys" command or something similar that would put the appropriate files in the correct place. I think you can do this with a boot floppy... something like sys c:. A dos based boot floppy wouldn't recognize the ntfs or ext3 sectors so it would probably come up as c:. You could probably find out with fdisk what it thinks your Me partition is.

New I believe that Mepis
can reinstall Grub from the oscenter on the liveCD. Make sure you know which partitions contain what, though...

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
