Hello all,

Everytime I boot my pc, the CMOS does see the drive configuration I have set up, it asks me to "press a key to reboot", once rebooted, everything works fine. I was messing with my MBR a while back and took linux off my system...could this be the problem, it's looking for lilo and not seeing so it's telling me to reboot? If I need to restore/Edit my MBR how can I go about doing this.

Thanks in advance,

Croag
