hi steven,
   many thanks for your email.
   I will try to answer your questions in order!
I think LILO is on a floppy disk - this is how i boot to linux.
I am running windows ME :(
Hardware: AMD-K6-2
               MS-5169 ATX AL9 mainboard
               EIDE1 master - 8.4 Gb hard drive (windows)
                           slave - 20Gb hard drive (linux)
               EIDE2 master - DVDrom
                           slave - CD rewriter
               video - SiS AGP SVGA card 4096
               audio - soundblaster live! player 5.1
                       ( the temperamental nature of the sound card was

Was it the jumper for flashing the BIOS that got loose? Hope these
questions are not too difficult, but did he change anything in the
actual BIOS? Have you ever been in the BIOS before? You can enter the
BIOS and easily get out without saving anything, but it might be
intriguing to see what is in there.
