| Disk Druid is a tool for partitioning and setting |
| up mount points. It is designed to be easier to use |
| than Linux's traditional disk partitioning software, |
| fdisk, as well as more powerful. However, there are |
| some cases where fdisk may be preferred. |

Missing operating system
Boot disk worked ok. Probably MBR is corrupt, will run "fdisk /mbr" from Win95 boot disk.
fdisk /mbr didn't work, will check that /boot is marked active.
/boot is marked active - will put LILO out again on /boot.
Check /etc/lilo.conf, found that the following line is incorrect
boot=/dev/sda6
This line should read
boot=/dev/sda1
Changed the line and reran /sbin/lilo -v.
