grub question
 

i have installed fedora core 2, and i dualboot with windows. I needed to reinstall windows, so now i dont have grub. I tried to boot with the fedora cd, and got the filesystem mounted under /mnt/sysimage, and i could read and write to my filesystem. But how do i set grub to be the default bootmanager again, with lilo i could just do lilo command :) I tried with the command "grub-intstall /dev/hdx" and "grub-intstall /mnt/sysimage/dev/hdx", but that doesnt work, and i dont have any floppy. So what commando do i need to run ?

hey

did u try
"grub-install /dev/hdx"
or
"grub-instrall /dev/hda"

u shouldbe trying the last one

regards

i did try grub-install /dev/hda2 , not just hda, because /boot is on hda2, should i try just hda ?

-ole

hi u should try

grub-install /dev/hda

and this write the grub mbr on the MBR and if u ever want to remove that u can do the following

boot from a win98 cd
at the command prompt
#fdisk /mbr
will remve grub and rewrite the windows MBR to it


or boot from a winxp/200 cd in to recovery console
and use "fixmbr"
