grub wont load
just finished re-insatlling my xp o/s and now when i try to reinstall grub using these commands
# linux rescue # chroot /mnt/sysimage # grub-install /dev/hda # reboot the grub loader is now in black and white. when i press any button to see the options and choose either xp or fc6 i get this error message "error 17 cannot mount selected partition". any ideas please as i dont want to have to reinstall fc6 as well as its taken me a week to set it up to how i like it regards mark |

Code:
fdisk -l |

Are you able to connect to the internet in the Linux install? If you want to start boning up on GRUB, get the manual here. |

Sooooo--I assume you are posting from another PC???
You can capture the output of the commands in a text file, put it on a floppy, and then paste it in on you other PC. OR--just copy the data by hand To capture in a text file: fdisk -l >my_data more /boot/grub/menu.lst >>my_data (This uses append to put all the data in one file) |
thread closed
tried using the dvd to repair via upgrade, that didnt work either, errors pointed to file system, just reinstalled. this time i will be more careful with what i choose thanks to those who followed this thread and for the input. no doubt i will be asking more questions. mark |
