Creating a bootdisk after install
« on: May 15, 2005, 08:07:22 PM »
I accidentally formatted the disk that I use to boot my E-smith 6.0.
I need to boot from disk because the server I am using will not boot from an ide controller.

Is it possible to re-create a boot disk?

Thanks,
JC

Is the server still running?  If so, you can make the bootdisk from the Admin menu.

Use rawrite for DOS/Windows on the CD, see Documentation on this site for howto.

yeah the server id running. I am worried if i reboot it i wont be able to get it running again.

does a generic boot disk from the sme install cd allow me to specify a volume to boot??

i am relatively new to linux.
