I have a big problem concerning the boot operation:

I have a win2000 and a Linux, and by default the win2000 is not like winXP it does not overwrite the MBR, but i was reducing the disk partitions using the Partition magic form the DOS, I used to do so and evry time I boot from the RedHat 9.0 disks and issue the following:

And then i remove the CD and rebooted, but this time an error occured in the gurb saying :
(this raised before showing me the choice menu)

I try the prev steps more than once but no wayout!

then i logged into the DOS andd issued (as i was needing my PC):

after this command i was able to log into win2000 only. after completed my work on Microzeft windows I now wanna log into my lovely linux, so I ( after reading how to log into it) insert the RedHat 9.0 installation Cd and do :

but an message returned saying:
, provided that, once ago i need to reinstall the gurb ( after installing an XP windows) and ever thing worked fine, so where is the error, please help me urgently.

it sounds like you changed your sizes in the partition table so fix mbr for MS would merely point the bootloader to look at C root partition for your ntldr programs.

2) I prefer you have a live cd for the next bit but boot the RH cd and see if it has an option to open a console or open a terminal???

when in

grub.....and wait a bit for the grub to search your devices

root (hd0,Y)......as per tut where is your /boot partition in ....................grub speak



root (hd0)

if the final message is ......succeeded or success then grub is in your mbr


read my tut if you want to make a bootable floppy or a cdr or chainload from MS.......


ps....with a live cd such as knoppix you have to issue the su command to have root powers....I do not know if you need that for a RH cd sorry

Thanx alot, I retry what i do and I get it.
