Fedora Users — RE: How to reinstall GRUB?

I'm sorry to say this but I really hate when ppl reply/write in html form. that means I've to resort to

top posting. since if I change it back to text-format, I'll have to type in the ">" myself..

That aside.. (no need to rant, we all have our shortcomings :) Like my email server's "ability" to munch the

threading)

Okay.... This should be what you do..

Boot using the FC1 Disc 1 CD. Type in "Linux rescue" at the boot prompt

after that, it should tell you that your FC1 partition is mounted at X location..

so.. just "chroot /mnt/sysimage"

then grub-install --root-directory=/dev/hdaX (X is depending on where is your / partition)

or if you have a separate /boot partition, should be something like

grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hdaX

Try that..

Subject: How to reinstall GRUB?

Hi All,

I just installed windows XP on my laptop which already had windows and Fedora C1 installed. As a result MBR was overwritten. I tried reinstalling GRUB but booting from FC1 CD1 under rescue mode but it couldn't find any linux partitions on my machine.
How can i get GRUB back in my MBR?

many thanks
Vikas
