Boot Problem
 

I have a dual-boot installation, Fedora 6 & Windows 2000, and it worked fine until this morning. When I attempted to log in just now, all that came up is a "grub" prompt. I have no idea what happened to cause this, but I haven't been able to find a way to get into either OS from this prompt. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? If so, has anyone resolved the problem without having to wipe out the hard drive and renistall everything? I really need the data on the drive, so I'd be really grateful if anyone can help me out.

Boot the system with the installation media into rescue mode by typing when the menu screen is displayed; linux rescue

Answer a few questions and read the on-screen message about using chroot and follow the directions. When ready type something like;

/sbin/grub-install --recheck /dev/hda

Use the typed command (first) to verify/modify the command above and adjust the command if needed.
