FC6 grub problem...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So heres what I did and what consequently happened…

 

I have been running Fedora Core 6 on my new dell machine for about 4 Months now happily. I had an old hard drive with windows xp pro on that I wanted to add to my machine and have a dual booting system. I assumed grub would pick this up and allow me to select which operating system I wanted to use.

 

Anyway here are the disks

 

Sata – windows xp pro

IDE ( with IDE to Sata converter plugged in) – Fedora Core 6  < This has been working really well up until today.

 

When I plug them both in together the system boots directly into Windows. Swapped the sata plugs on the mother board to try and get the Fedora to boot first and all I get is this….

 

GNU Grub Version 0.97

 

Minimal Bash

 

GRUB>

 

No I have been looking on the internet on how to get this back and the following does not work for me.

 

Root (hd0,0)

Setup (hd0)

Quit

 

I tended to get error 15 a lot

 

Any combination of locations in the HD brackets don’t work.  I have looked up the boot sector using Knoppix and that still doesn’t work.

 

Any ideas please before I pull what little hair I have left out….
