grub issues/yoper install failed.
im on the search for the perfect distro, and ive tried suse, mdk, and fedora core 2, fedora core 2 was my latest venture, and it ran sluggish on my box, so i decided to test yet another, so i took my box to my freinds place, and downloaded yoper. i burned the iso to a cd from windows, and rebooted into cd. all starts off well, i get to partition my drives, and i want linux to have its own hdd, so i have a 20 gig for it, i make a swap file of 256mb and use the rest for a file system ext 3. then i proceed to the next step and it tells me there is no linux file system. and installation failed.
and when i reboot without the yoper cd in, grub wont boot into windows from my fc2 install. any ideas? i wish i could be more specific on the error messages, but right now the only working comp i have is at work. Thanks, |
hi
to remove grub do this boot from a win98 cd at the command prompt #fdisk /mbr will remve grub and rewrite the windows MBR to it or boot from a winxp/200 cd in to recovery console and use "fixmbr" regards gaurav |
ill definately try that, but i still want linux on the system as well, if i perhaps re-install fedora core will that work?

hi
try the above and se if windows works if it works then boot from ur first CD of fedora go to linux rescue #chroot /mnt/sysimage then #vi /etc/grub.conf and post that grub.conf here will see whats wrong there regards gaurav |
