How To Re-Install GRUB ?
|
|
|
| I had RedHat Fedora V3 installed and running on a logical drive partition.
I installed XP-pro the other day on the primary drive partition.
Now the only thing that boots is XP pro.
How do I get the machine to load grub so I can select which OS to boot ?
Thanks

| Jim, you can try using the Fedora CD #1 and boot from it. Select upgrade
instead of install. It may just reload Grub as one
of the steps or at least give you the option of installing Grub.

| I got it working again.
Spent a couple hours searching the web, it seems I'm not the only one that's had this problem,
yet all the sites I visited only dealt with installing windows first, then grub and linux, unfortunately
it doesn't always happen that way.
I ended up re-installed GRUB from scratch and edited the grub.conf file manually.
GRUB's doc's leave a bit to be desired.
