*sigh* getting grub back.
I installed RH, then in my 'stupidty' i installed Windows XP right after, but now my 'grub' is gone, It won't appear on startup
via Windows i gat my self explorer2fs, and put it in write mode, and edited the grub.conf file, with putting in information on the Windows XP, but it doesn't help much since grub won't even start.. How can i fix this? getting grub back. and with out formating, or destroying any existing partitions :confused: |
DO "grub-install /dev/hda" to install grub to your MBR.

boot disk
You should always have a floppy to boot from. Its easy to make one using syslinux floppy. All you have to do is copy your kernel (/boot/vmlinuz) onto a FAT formatted floppy, then use syslinux to make the floppy bootable and use syslinux.cfg to pass the kernel parameters.
Here is the url for syslinux http://syslinux.zytor.com/ Here is an example syslinux.cfg file: --------------------------------------- default linux prompt 1 display boot.msg timeout 100 label linux kernel vmlinuz append root=/dev/hda1 --------------------------------------- For more detailed info, read the bootdisk HOWTO at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/index.html |
