tsr's? Can you be a bit more specific!! Please provide more information with regards to the system you are running, and the problem you are having!! A little information goes a long way.

if by tsr's you mean daemons. some are needed to make the system work properly.

why dont you start by listing the following when you post questions.

OS and VERSION:
Hardware:
Problem:

Also post if you are attempting to load Mandrake on a dual-boot system and what the other OS is.

(This is assuming that your current problem has to do with your other post where your MBR keeps disappearing)

but mandrake sayes that there are some bad superblocks in the system when i did a fsck in sayed that and then my mbr disappers or after i install the invida drivers then i reboot
