The error message I get when loading linux: "VFS: Cannot open Root Device 16:01 Kernel Panic: VFS:Unable to mount Root Fs on 16:01" I've tried everything. including reinstalling windows, rebooting with the emergencie boot disk, installing different version of Linux, which did install but on a partition after the first install. I can't get to any to any kind of prompts so I can unistall. Any suggestions or is my new 75gig ibm toast?
