I have a problem with install NT and Linux Red Hat on 1 disk. First I try only linux, after formating HDD I can´t install anything. there is no boot, only massage GRUB. With Ghost, I copy OS but nothing happened, only GRUB.
How can I save my disk and prepare it for use?
thanks for all help

Can you remember which partition /boot/grub/menu.lst is on? Or, do you know which partition is your root partition and what's the name of your kernel? If you can't remember all these things you'll need to boot from a CD which has fdisk (or cfdisk) and grub on it. I'd probably use cfdisk on the first Slack CD to use cfdisk to find out where everything is and then I'd use the first Mandrake CD to repair Grub. I don't know if the Red Hat CD has the tools you need to repair your situation. I have tried but I never found a way to get to the command prompt. It would always run Anaconda and start reinstalling so I gave up and went with the tools I was familiar with.

What dou you mean only grub? Do you get to the grub command line: grub>

If that is the case. The solution is simple:

find /boot/grub/grub.conf (or find /grub/grub.conf) This depends on if you have a separate /boot partition. The find command will return something like (hd0,1) or something where numbers will be adjusted to your partitions.

Then when you get the location of the grub.conf file, you have the location of the /boot partition:

root (hd0,0)
Instead of hd0,0 out the values you got from the above find command.

So you are now on the /boot partition. All you have to do now is:

kernel /vmlinuz-xxxx ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd.xxxxx.img
boot

When typing press TAB(twice), just like in BASH command line and it will give you all the options you have for the word you are typing.

Bynow you should be in your linux.

By the way... What kind of name is marjan? Slovenian?

Lep pozdrav!

To get to the tools on the redhat CD you must boot with:

linux rescue

That doesn't start anaconda, it puts you into rescue mode. Just for the future reference.

this may help you:

install windows first or partition your hard drive
if you install windows first then use a program like partition magic to partition
then install red hat (grub should be able to boot red hat and if It can't then there may be a problem with your hard drive
or try checking your bios settings. (I don't know too much about your system so I can't tell you what to look for. butdo a google search for known errors with your system.)
When you install red hat does it give you any errors or anything? You just said red hat, by any chance are you using fedora? I think there's some issue with 2.6 kernels and booting Windows xp or nt. I normaly install windows first when I dual boot a system. If you can get red hat working but not windows nt do a google search for booting windows nt with grub.
