I have a dual boot system. When I was using Windows earlier, I deleted a partition on the hard disk in preparation for installing another version of Linux. Big mistake. Now grub couldn't find the root partition, and it doesn't recognize the root partition because Fedora 3 uses ext3 file system. I can't use the kernel command to identify the kernel image. Any instructions on how to recover from this situation?
Thanks,

Hey Frank
You will need to re-install grub. Boot from your install disk-1 or the rescue CD, enter "linux rescue" at the prompt. Then follow the directions on-screen to get to the prompt and enter the chroot command as the screen shows. now do a "grub-install /dev/hda". exit the rescue mode (removing the CD as you do) you should boot into your FC. You may need to take a look at your /etc/fstab to ensure that it was re-configured and that all of your partitions are mountable.
