Grub error 15 after Slackware install.
I recently installed Slackware linux over an old install of Ubuntu. I chose to reformat the partition and such. Now when I boot I get:
Grub loading.... Grub Error 15 The only way I got to boot was using an Ubuntu Live CD but i'm not sure how to get rid of Grub and use the default LILO with Slackware instead. Thanks. Edit: After searching in Slackware instead, I see that booting into recovery console on a WinXP disk and running FIXMBR should work? |
Ok, I tried that and the recovery asked me for what Windows I wanted to boot into and apparently I don't know my own administrator password :confused: Is there any other way to redo the MBR?

1. boot the system using the 1st cd of the slackware. 2. at the promt write #linx root=/dev/hdxy ro ....where x = a ( if your hard disk is primary master ) x = b ( if your hard disk is primary slave ) x = c ( if your hard disk is secondary master ) x = d ( if your hard disk is secondary slave ) and y = the partition number which you have assigned as root. after doing this, do #/sbin/lilo it should fix your problem regards ( plz. correct me if i'm wrong ) |
