thanks for the quick response. basically what i've done is same as yours. bootpart is a software to make the boot image of linux. same as dd command i guess. <br><br>and i do edit the boot.ini but i still got missing hal.dll
message. <br><br>i've already formatted the 2nd disk for reinstall ubuntu. but before that, i'd like to hear some advice on this problems in case it appears again.<br><br>thanks again. :-)<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
