Laptops hard drive had another oopsie....
 
Well, my laptop has been dropped alot... SO I can imagine why the hard drive is a little crappy at the moment. I am running fedora core 4 on my laptop and the grub bootloader has died and I dont know the command to fix it.
Its wont load grub, so it brings me to a grub command screen and I have no clue what to do o.o Help would be great :)

~Thanks

No, I can't use these.... When I boot up. it stays at the GRUB loading stage 2.. sceen longer then it should. Then it drops me to a GRUB shell and I dont know anything about it. I just need to reinstall grub. thats the only problem.. And I cant do it in terminal or download it or anything, because I dont have another linux computer.

Yes, actually you can read the link in either reply to learn how to use the grub shell to boot into your machine. If you're not willing to learn this tiny little bit, then I guess someone else will have to help you.

33 years in the classroom taught me there are just some that have to learn the hard way. You can lead them to the answers but not force them to use them.
