I killed my computer. I'm good at doing these kinds of things.
Well, I should be able to resurrect it actually -- I just don't know how. The problem: when I boot the computer, it flashes the system information screen (i.e., RAM check, etc) very briefly, then goes to a blank screen with just the letters 'LI' up at the top.
Here's what I think happened: I had just repartitioned my main drive. I merged some old partitions into the one containing my C: drive, which contains my WINDOWS (I'm running XP) folder. The only thing I can think of is that I screwed up some things to which the master boot record pointed -- I was using lilo to dual boot with Red Hat Linux, but I chopped the Linux partitions.
If anyone knows about these kinds of things, I'd appreciate the help.
