/bin/grub-install not working
 
Hi friends, I was told to use the command: /sbin/grub-install in order to install grub on my MBR. I told to log into resue mode. Is it necessary to log into rescue mode to accomplish this? How do you do it? When I type the command above it tells me that "install_device not specified. The I type /sbin/grub-install /dev/hd0 it tells me "Not found or not a block device". What should I do? I don't want to keep using a floppy disk to boot linux(Red Hat 8). I have a dual boot system with WinMe.

This is my grub.conf file:

#boot=/dev/hd0,0
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14)
initrd /boo/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title WinMe
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Been trying to solve this problem for weeks.

Thanks
