Dear All,
I have a small problem and hope someone will help me.
I installed XP after I installed RedHat 9 and that damaged the old Boot Loader, I run the RedHat installation CD and it detects my previous installation and asks me for Boot Configuration and I agree , I choose no packages to upgrade and after that the installer tell me that no linux kernel packages were installed and it doesn't configure the Boot Loader at all, what should I do ?
Thanks for any help.

go into rescue mode using your cd and reinstall grub using the command grub-install /dev/hda -> your hdd name

I tried it but it gives me the following error,
sbin/grub/ : not found.
I tried to change the path to the place where the hdb is mounted [/mnt/sysimage/] but in vain.
Any help ???

can you boot into XP? if yes, go to device manager->computer management look and see if you have two separate partitions. should have a primary and a separate partition where windows live. windows will not recognize RH and will tell you it is an unknown file. just making sure the two have a separate home. also yu should have unallocated space between the two.
if you cant enter RH through system rescue with cd, then i would suggest you download a live cd like ubuntu and try to use it to mount where RH is and take a look at what grub looks like. if it is still there and intact then you may need to either re-install RH or install ubuntu and once installed go to RH re-instate RH's Grub and then delete ubuntu.

you should always install linux last, or the oldest os first, or the OS whose bootloader you want last.

Thanks for your help but I solved the problem ...
I did the following:-
1-Logged on to RedHat Rescue system.
2-typed "chroot /mnt/sysimage/ /bin/bash".
3-typed "grub-install z" where z is my hard disk drive,it is hdb so the final string would be "grub-install /dev/hdb".

Thank Godness,Every thing is ok now !!!

Thanks for your help
