I tinkered with linux a long time ago and have forgotten most of what I knew. I recently loaded a dual boot of XP Pro and Mandrake Linux 8.1c. During the configuration of Lilo ( I was setting XP as default and changing the name from NT to XP Pro) I made it so it would not boot into Windows. Well while trying to get that fixed I made it not boot into Linux as well.

So luckily at my work I have a friend that knows alot about linux and he was able to use my Knoppix cd to fix part of the problem.

We will probably start using it to get into systems we need to back up data from for customers. It is a verry handy tool.
