Hi all,
I'm new here and I'd like to take this first message as a chance to say that this forum looks very good and plenty of valuable information to me, so keep on the great work!
Coming to my personal issue, I recently installed Linux Red Hat Enterprise 3 on a different primary partition than C: (where Win XP home is installed) on my Amilo M1425. The GRUB boot loader has been installed and works properly, but since then I cannot access the Advance Boot Menu during the startup. If I press F8 repeatedly when the machine is booting up nothing happens and GRUB is loaded as normal... My question is:
Do you think that GRUB, being installed in the MBR, is preventing me to access the hidden partition?
If yes, any workaround?
If not, what may it be causing that?
To specify, I never tried to access the hidden restore partition even before installing Linux, so it can also not be related to GRUB. I don't need to restore the system now, but, in case, I'd like to be able to do it (also I never backed up to DVDs the information in the restore partition and that is something I'd like to do).
Thanks in advance for your help!
