I HD installed, and quite often, when I turn on the computer, it starts up, and then where it normally show Lilo or Grub, it hangs, and shows a L. Grub did the same thing, except it said Grub. error 18 or error 16.

The only way I can then fix it is to boot from the LIve CD, and remount the hard drive paritions, reboot, and then get back to business.

If this helps I figured out it's only when I turn on the computer, not restart it.

I'll definitely retry the whole partition thing, I partitioned about 800MB, so I'll check what my BIOS can handle, but GRUB didn't give me the option of booting windows, so I stuck with Lilo, which will have no error message, just an:

L

Or sometimes:

L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99

Only when I cold start it though, which to me is perplexing, I' had luck with the link, which, after some more readings and links found me:

I also have the problem with the current version, Lilo shows L then 99's alot...  Using Grub works however.  I'm just more familiar with lilo than grub but no biggie. :)
