Since you've mentioned that you're capable of using the rescue mode, boot into rescue mode again and retrieve a copies of /boot/grub/grub.conf and /boot/grub/device.map and /etc/fstab and the output of "parted /dev/hda print" (substitute hda appropriately). Post them here. Reinstalling GRUB from within rescue mode should be easy, provided that its configuration is correct. -- Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux 2.6.8-1.541 loadavg: 1.01 1.03 1.01
