hey guys,
Thanks for ur advises, but im stil facing the same issue. Let me give more details to all of u.
1. I am dual booting with Fedora Core 2 and Windows XP. 2. Fedora was working fine initially. When i was away, my parents used my PC, and they never used Fedora, they used Windows only. So you can say, Fedora was not used for around 2 months. 3. When I am back, I start Fedora and the booting stops with the following error message:
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting floppy (/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/driversblock/floppy.ko): Device or resource busy.
IMP: the booting stops at the same point even if i try with CD-1 of fedora.
btw..Harsh, Vivek, Rony, Siddhesh, thanks a lot for ur prompt replies. But i am quite new to this linux community and have limited knowledge of this OS. Hence, i do not know what to do when u say "you might need to reinstall your boot loader" . thanks again all.
Regards, ranjit

Did you check that?
Hi Try adding nofloppy at the end of your "kernel ..." line in the file boot/grub/menu.lst For eg. kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet nofloppy You can edit the grub loader options by pressing 'e' from the grub menu. HTH,
Gautam.

Do you have a faulty floppy drive? If so then disable it in the BIOS and then use your PC. If the problem re-appears next day, then your CMOS battery may need to be replaced as it is not holding your settings.

Rony.
