Solaris

Possibly grub, without the actual error message there is absolutely no way to tell. New users often mistake X not starting for something more serious. Best to wait for a more informative post from the OP, as bad advice based on assumptions costs time ( and money in my line of work ) so I prefer to know the facts first.

fair play, i gess i can't really give advice seeing as i'm inexperenced in this field.

thanks guy will somehow my computer when first load it just prom an

LILO...

it would not let me load Solaris 10 .....I dont know whats going on....so what is LILO.....how come i lost my window screen......can anyone help me trying to go back on window screen ....i dont have recovery dis for this computer....thanks

1. What was your machine running before you did anything with the DVD?

2. What did you do with the DVD? Did you try to boot from it?

3. If you were intending to install Solaris on your box, why are you now worried about recovering information from it?

4. What, seriously, do you mean by "window"?

5. Have you ever installed an operating system before?

What other operating systems do you think you have on your machine?

Currently it sounds like you have/had Linux and Windows 98 dual booted with LILO.

Where was Solaris supposed to go?

boot from the win98 disk, in dos mode.

and enter

fdisk /mbr

then reboot. All being well you will at least get windows back.
