hi all i have ghosted fedora two from an 80gb to a 36gb with nortons 2003 ghost. all seemed to be ok in the ghosting, i saw it partition then transfer the data recognising it as linux problem is that when i boot now the 36gb all that comes on the screen in capital letters is GRUB nothing else happens ok please be kind and slow down in your explaining how to fix the drive to boot successfully, i dont know much
Assuming the filesystem is fine, I suspect GRUB's just got a bit annoyed that bits of itself have moved. Boot off the CD in rescue mode, chroot /mnt/sysimage (or wherever it puts it now), and run grub-install /dev/hda or wherever your booted disk is, and it should spring back to life.
