Unable to boot XP after installing Mandrake

Recommended Posts

I had a 120GB hard drive with Windows XP and I decided to install Mandrake 10.0.

 

I created a new partition with PartitionMagic 8.0

 

Then I installed Mandrake and it worked fine.

I'm a real beginner with Linux and I have an annoying problem.

 

When I tried to boot Window and I was unable to load it.

I got a blue screen and a message saying "autochk not found - Skipping autocheck" and that it rebooted.

 

From Linux I can see everything on my Windows partition and even use the files so the partition seems to be OK.

 

I'm using lilo as a boot loader.

 

this is the different partitions I have :

 

Mount point: swap

Device: hda4

type: Linux Swap (0x82)

Start: sector 63

Size: 50MB

Formatted

mounted

------------------------------

Mount point: /mnt/win_c

Device: hda1

DOS drive letter: C (just a guess)

type: FAT32 (0xb)

Start: sector 1028223

Size: 5,9GB

Formatted

mounted

------------------------------

Mount point: /mnt/win_d

Device: hda2

DOS drive letter: D (just a guess)

type: NTFS (or HPFS) (0x7)

Start: sector 13510665

Size: 98GB

Formatted

mounted

-------------------------------

Mount point: /

Device: hda3

type: Linux native (0x83)

Start: sector 219737070

Size: 9.7GB

Formatted

mounted

Partition booted by default (for MS-DOS boot, not for lilo)

-------------------------------

 

Can anyone help ?
