Try GRUB http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/.

Get it here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/

Best manual:
http://www.mcc.ac.uk/grub/grub_toc.html

>From the grub command prompt you should try:
rootnoverify (hd0,0)

rootnoverify
doesn't have to mount partition (for linux partitions use root)

(hd0
grub's identification of disk you want to boot

,0)
grub's identification of the partition you want to boot

Hi again:
	I was able to find get my /home partition but in the process windows won't
boot, everything locks up, even with a win boot disk and win98 cdrom.  The
mandrake 8.1 cd boots fine.  I spent the couple of hours and reinstalled
mandrake on my lost / partition and everything works fine, except windows-it
won't boot out of lilo or bootdisk.  I can see the partition fine in linux.
Here is fdisk output:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2432 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1            51       942   7164990    c  Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3           945      2432  11952360    5  Extended
/dev/hda5           945       964    160618+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda6           974      1718   5984212+  83  Linux                /
/dev/hda7          1719      2432   5735173+  83  Linux      /home   (saved)

My first 50 sectors was my hybernation partition which I don't care about.
Anyway, the important stuff is working, and I have my data.  Thanks.  Jon
