Unable to boot into Linux

Comment:

Hi, Instead of using a boot menu to boot to linux I use a floppy. I need some help coz the boot floppy has become corrupt and now I cant access Linux at all. I do have windows but how can I make a boot disk for Linux Mandrake 9.0 there. Any ideas? Thanx in advance

Well. I'd say bad luck buddy; you alway need a backup for a floppy. In order to recover, all I can think about is a grub-boot-floppy from somebody else and you edit, while booting, the lines according to your nneds.
