installed WinXP after Fedora 10 but grub still not working
hello.
Though I was using fedora with wine and it was not going well, I decided to install winxp on a partition to copy the entire C drive to ~/.wine/drive_c/ directory. I unpluged the Hard drive and installed windows, all ok untill now. but, when I started up again with both discos pluged, (as I supose) windows booted first. So I inserted Fedora 10's DVD and rescue it, but, for earlier versions there was a boot restore function on the menu, now it isn't and I needed to chroot /mnt/sysroot (or so) and execute Code:
grub Code:
grub-install I have, or supostly I should have, grub installed on MBR. what can I do more? thank you ... |
If you are messing around with youŕe drive , you should change youŕe menu.lst too
If you like to do a dual boot yes Grub should be written in MBR To install GRUB chroot/mnt/sysimage Grub install /dev/sd? exit Sd? the drive where GRUB should be mostley SDA If possible run the command fdisk -l(L lower case) to find the partitions where the OS are , Remember GRUB start counting with a zero so (hd0,0) = sda1 for you re menu.lst |
thank you for the replay
I made grub-install already. the root partition is on sda1. in fact I don't want dual boot with windows, but a copy of it just to try on wine. Maybe I can auto-reboot computer (no more than this) due a possible over current, but I'll try to unplug the windows disk, boot on fedora and plugit during the boot. Beeing true, I'm pretty shore that this won't work, though I have, I gess, no plug n' play on hard drives... but ... no more than a restart. Any how, I'll report in here. but, if you have any ideia what I can do else, please replay me . |
ok ... I did it. when I got on the login screen I plugged in the hard drive. it is unknown during this time. ...
|
ah, I did grub-install during the rescue function, maybe on the system I it will work right.
|
ok, allright, it worked well.
Although I changed /boot/grub/map, there war Code:
(hd0) /dev/sda Any how, thank you. |
