Need help to restore fedora


Hi all,

Recently i reinstalled windows XP in my PC which as Fedora4 also as dual boot. As usual my grub boot loader is lost because of xp reinstallation. I restored it by using linux rescue with the following procedure
Quote:
#chroot /mnt/sysimage
#grub-install /dev/hda
#exit
Now iam able to see my grub loader but when i try to move inside fedora4 it shows the following error.

Quote:
root (hd0,9)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL*/ rhgb quiet acpi=force vga=0x36


Error 17: cannot mount selected partition

Press any key to continue....
I need your help to solve this problem

Thanks for your help.

I Found where the fault is.

Instead of hda6 partition(which contains the fedora) grub takes swap partition(hda9) of my harddisk as root partition.

Now i corrected it and its working perfectly.
