Sorry - for posterity's sake - booted from CD in rescue mode, 'rpm -e grub' and 'yum install lilo' - then finally remembered to transfer the new bootsector to W2K's C: drive. Method similar to the below: http://groups.msn.com/LinuxLiNuXLINUX/installwindowsandlinux.msnw (msn - hah.) # dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 Does this still work the same way for grub, for future reference?
