IBM thinkpad 760EL doesn't boot

I highly recommend Ranish Partition Manager, which is a DOS freeware 
& includes source code.  You can get it at the following URL.
http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/

I used it to recover from a nasty bootsector virus on my dual boot 
desktop & have used it on my Thinkpad too.  You can resize partitions 
&, more importantly, can save a copy of your MBR to disk.  I've 
reinstalled the MBR on both my desktop & TP several times.  Partition 
Manager fits on a floppy & I now have a recovery floppy with Partition 
Manager & a good copy of my MBR for both systems.

If anyone knows of something like this for Linux, I'd love to know about it.

Good luck with your TP Amalio.

Regards,
Cydny
