Replace GRUB Bootloader with WIN NT Bootloader
Hi - after a disasterous failed upgrade from fedora 10 to 11, which destroyed my Lnux (2nd) hard disk, and destroyed GRUB Bootloader, I find myself in the position of a dual boot machine (WIN, Fedora), booting automatically into GRUB shell command line, with no GRUB MENU: now options to select WIN, LINUX etc.
Thru a trick in GRUB, and aid in these forums, I managed to used commands to get WIN booted after 3 days. I wish to replace the GRUB Bootloader with the WIN NT Bootloader, and so avoid booting directly into the GRUB command shell, every time I start the machine. I believe the GRUB bootloader resides on the first (of 2) hard disks, the windows disk. How can I replace the grub bootloader with the WIN NT bootloader please? I have tried to boot from WIN install disk (thinking about FIXMBR procedure), but that CD simply does not boot. Is there a manual method to replace one bootloader with another? It does appear that my Linux disk is trashed, but I can live with that and start over, once I can boot cleanly. Thanks George |
For Windows NT, you can download & use the FixMBR tool.
You can actually restore your grub quite easily as well if you have a LiveCD. |
