Hi,
Recently I've reinstalled XP now I'm unable to restore the grub. I've chosen Rescue option from the boot menu of Fedora 8. In shell I've tried 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' and 'grub-install /dev/sda'.
In chroot an error is coming stating can't chroot. And for 2nd one another error is coming stating 'could not find /sbin/grub.
Please quote exact errors along with the command used.
Usually it is sufficient to run grub-install /dev/sda or whatever from the rescue shell. If you did it after the (unsuccessful) chroot, it may be looking in the wrong place. Did you use LVM in the fedora install? Did you install Windows to a seperate drive?
If you can provide the exact error you getting while chrooting. I am not really sure but at time you booted the system in rescue mode, anaconda might have given you option to select the disk. If you select the windows disk the chroot will fail.
