uninitialized harddisk
One linux machine suddenly shows insert boot disk and press enter. So I think grub may be corrupted, as the hdd is detected in the BIOS. So now I insert the dvd and goto rescue mode. Now it shows the harddisk is uninitialized and wipe out all data iif initialized.
It is centos 5.3 ,what could I do now ? |
Hello,
There's a big difference between a corrupt grub and a disk showing as not initialized. If you think your grub is corrupt then you can try to reinstall it from the LiveCD by mounting the disk, /dev and /proc and enter in a chroot environment to execute grub-install, like this: Code:
mkdir /adirectory_to_mount_your_disk Kind regards, Eric |
Yes it was a hardware failure.

Hello,
Glad you found the cause of your problem, hopefully you were able to recover important data. Kind regards, Eric |
