OK I did a super stupid NOOB thing

I have two harddrives both 80 gig

I had Mandrake on the first and Fedora Core on the sec.

I' m new to linux and I am trying out Different Destro to see
what i like the Best.

Anyhow I installed Gentoo on the First Harddrive it went fine
but when I went to reboot into Fedora
Grub hung up and it wouldn't boot.

Like a Big Dummy I forgot to write down my Grub settings for booting
Fedora when I installed Gentoo.

So i would like to mount my Second HardDrive while running Gentoo
too look at my Old Grub config file so I know what settings to set my new grub config file.

can this be done? and if so could you please tell me how ?

or is there a better way to fix my problem?

do a mesg | more and look for the device name of your second harddrive, something like hdb hdc or hdd. then do mount /dev/hdX /mnt/mountpoint where X is the device name, and /mnt/mountpoint is the name of some directory under /mnt that exists. You'll have to do this as root.

but where is the config file?

I tried in hdb2 /root/etc

it lists a grub.config file but when i open it its blank?

any help please?

once you mount your other drive, say on /mnt/ go to a directory under there called boot, under that directory is another called grub, in that directory is a file call menu.lst this is the config file for grub. (If that directory is empty it means that your /boot of your other hard drive, is mounted from a separate partition, if so then look at the /mnt/etc/fstab file to see which partition is the old /boot, then mount that on say /mnt/oldboot/ and look under there.

oops forgot the partition number on my first post, you'll need to mount /dev/hdXN where X is the device for that HD and X is the partition of your boot or / filesystem.

I did what you said and it worked thanks again
