Recently had to reinstall windows, and now grub is gone. Have searched the forums and tried the suggestions there, but when I try to do grub-install /dev/hda6 I either get an error like /boot not found, or if I do the chroot /media/hda6 (where linux is located) it then tells me /dev/hda.
What am I doing wrong?
I have Linux installed on a partition on a 200GB ide drive, which also has an ntfs partition on it, and a small 300MB fat partition (the first partition) which I was previously told I needed for booting to work (I don't think I did in the end, so used it as a swap drive between Linux and Windows). Windows is installed on a striped array. I did have grub installed on the IDE drive before I lost it, and haven't been able to install it back on.

BTW am running Kubuntu 6.10.

download the super grub disk.
Burn it and reinstall grub.

if you can chroot in o.k., simply do "grub-install /dev/hda" - note: to the device itself (for the MBR), not the partition.

Tried that, got an error. Will try the supergrub thing

Worked great, thanks
