[Solved] Safeboot survived to a disk repartionning.

[destroyedlolo]

Hello,

My ex-company lent me a PC that came with McAFree Endpoint protection and m$-windows7 installed.
Any good tutorial to multiboot with Gentoo ?

I found only this page for Arch but it seems it is outdated.

Any good link to do it ?

Thanks

Laurent

Well, I didn't found anything recent / constructive.
I'll be in hurry soon so I'll probably format the HD and use only Gentoo if I didn't find any clue by end of the day.

Bye

I don't know anything about McAfee Endpoint Encryption, but, if you can install EasyBCD on the Windows 7 partition and the BCD can still vector anywhere on the HDD, presumably you should still be able to use the procedure explained in the blog post: The best way to dual boot Linux and Windows as that method doesn't touch the MBR -- or anything else in Windows -- at all.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply but it's too late : I already reformated the disk ... but unfortunately, safeboot survived and said "Safeboot has been corrupted (error 92h)"


What I did is I booted from Gentoo CD, used cfdisk to remove all existing partition, and did Gentoo installation as per the installation guide.

But I got this error at first reboot
Any idea how to fully remove safeboot to allow me to do this Gentoo install ?

Thanks

Laurent

PS: I did a

Don't know anything about Safeboot. Did you try to overwrite first sectors of HD with dd?

Well, it was my fault : I didn't fully installed GRUB ... more the kernel I build hangs.

So the conclusion is : never do such things late at night

Now, I need to understand where my kernel is bad.
