[Gllug] Help please - with following - non - starting Linux

[Richard Cottrill]

Be a little generous here...

Is Windows still booting?
How have you configured for multiboot (boot floppy or no)?

What works and what doesn't? Do you have a rescue disc?

Bear in mind that I'm not an expert at PC resuscitation but I've broken
stuff often enough to get used to the process.
