So at the end of the install, you were back at the desktop and did a shutdown dow to a black shell and after ejecting the CD, and restarting pclinuxos, it booted up OK ? Towards the end of the install, when it asks where to put the boot information, what did you do ? Thanks for taking the time to respond by the way. its very much appreciated
I think this addresses your situation http://www.pclinuxos.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=58&topic=4752.0 Use master boot record
"Yes, that what I did, it is working, Mandriva OS type is selected " That's what you said. So HOW did you get it to work ?
I just did install, selected OS type Mandriva, and boot record to be placed in MBR, and ejected CD, nothing else. by the way did you check undo disks?
