I will explain stetup, machine has 3 harddrives "disk 0(C) is all XP",
"disk 1(G) is all ghost of XP", "disk 2 is all linux", the ghost I fixed XP with was done before I installed Fedora Core 2 , after ghosting the linux installation is OK on its own harddrive but the boot choice has gone, and starts into XP by default, I can enter rescue mode in Linux by using original installation DVD I downloaded. I tried by using Grub prompt to grub-install /dev/hdc. message was "unrecognized command". I do not know enough about Linux to do anymore, one way is to reinstall but this is not me I want to repair.
The secret is that you have to run "chroot /mnt/sysimage after you get the prompt. This will give you the environment of your Fedora installation.
After your rescue disk finds the Fedora installation and mounts it under /mnt/sysimage. After you chroot into the system, running "grub-install /dev/hda" (or whatever your boot disk is recognized as), grub should come up after you reboot your computer. Typing "reboot" should bring your computer around and display grub.
