Hi folks,

I am a Linux Newbie, so please be gentle ...
I have (had) RH8 installed on a new Hard disk - I believe it used Lilo as
it's loader.
It booted perfectly.

I have tried to install Mandrake.
It  installed OK - but it would not boot!

Now I have installed Lycoris, and it won't boot either.
It just gets to what looks like a Grub command prompt.

I have Knoppix on a CD - it boots perfectly & I can see the files on the
Hard Drive.

Is there something that I've missed here?

Does anyone have any ideas about where I should look, or what I should look
for?

I have not included much technical information as I don't know what would be
useful!

Thanking you in advance,
-Alan.
