I have done almost the same, ghosted to CD-Rs and then restored to a new disk, had to boot on the rescue disk and chroot as below and run grub-install, if you read the Norton site, ghost 2003 does not handle grub, I think ghost 2004 was supposed to handle grub. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Hodrien Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 4:51 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: ghosted - 80gb to 36gb On Thu, 14 Oct 2004, david wrote: > 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.
