Hi,
Is there any way to restore the boot loader? I made dome error,
reinstalled the windows XP without first back up all the data in
fedora.
I have an HP Pavilion zv6000 with AMD athlon 64, 80 GB and 1GB of
memory dual boot with windows and Fedora 7 (fc8 will not install in
this computer, I also posted this problem but I did not get any
answer) the HD is partition at 40GB each. I try to restore using fc7
original disk used for installation but it does not restore the boot
loader.
Do you have a Rescue disk? If so, use it to boot, do
"chroot /mnt/sysimage" and then "/sbin/grub-install". If your
old /boot/grub.conf file is OK, grub should install the bootloader. You
might want to check that grub.conf has an entry for Windows so your dual
boot will still work.

Thank you so much for the answer.
On the command /sbin/grub-install it return a message:
"install device not specified
USAGE grub-install [OPTION] install device
so I entered: "/sbin/grub-install fedora7"
this time was ok, but on reboot start the windows only.
what am I doing wrong?
