Few lame quesions..........
Hello all,
Few days back i learned how to recover the "grub" bootloader ( through rescue mode) after instatlling the windows on the same machine....
1>>now a question is bothering me that how can i again remove the entry of "grub" bootloader from the master boot record (MBR) without reinstalling some windows o/s on the machine..
2>> After temporarily mounting my second hard drive successfully using....mount /dev/hdd etc....now how can i "unmount it" without restarting the system............( note:- i'm not talking about making a pemanent entry in the file /etc/fstab).
regards..

Hi,
Must admit that it is not clear, but that's what I meant with the 'Using the dos....' part
Sorry for the 'confusion'.
