Hi guys,

I have a Compaq Pro system, and recently I have uploaded Unix and have done a prtionong of 2 GB in my HDD for UNIX. Howwvwer when ever I switch on my PC , it gives me an error of "Boot failure" and asks for a bootable Compaq Diskette which I dont have.

Pls help me out and request you to pls let me know from where I can down load this bootable diskette or any why out.

Thanx and Regards,

Sidhu

Do you really mean UNIX, or do you mean Linux? Regardless, what version did you install, and:

1. How exactly did you partition the hard drive?

2. What filesystem did you format it with?

3. Did the installation of the OS complete sucessfully, or did you get errors? If you did get errors, what were they (again- exactly)?

4. *NIX systems use different bootloader programs than Windows does; which bootloader did you install?
