grub repair on laptop ( which has Windows XP + Fedora Core 6)
Greetings all,
Yesterday night I tried installing FreeBSD on my laptop (Compaq running on AMD Turion 64). It already has Windows XP and Fedora Core6 which is working fine. I didn't get much far in FreeBSD installation, I quit in the middle at a safe place without comitting any changes I made. But after this when I reboot my machine I'm getting this grub prompt GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. for the first word.... .............] grub> Today I got the Fedore rescue cd and rebooted my machine with that. I google'd for the grub repair but nothing worked out.. After getting the shell from rescue cd (before doing 'chroot '/mnt/sysimage') if I give 'fdisk -l' This is what I'm getting Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders Units ....... Disk identified:.....

Can anyone share their experiences if you have encountered similar problem. Thanks in advance. Best, Ram. |
