How? Someone will see this in the archives and will want to know the
answer :-)
Anne
ok, fair enough!
I followed Tim's instructions, but did this with Fedora-Live CD:
1) Boot in Fedora-Live
+ Open Shell Terminal Window
2) fdisk -l
*** note!!! ***
+ Disk drives are DIFFERENT, not necessarily the same as when booted
in Fedora!
For example, when you boot in Fedora (the real thing), the 3
disks for
me it was:
/dev/sda - PATA
/dev/sdb - SATA-1
/dev/sdc - SATA-2
In Fedora-Live, is displayed as:
/dev/sdb (PATA)
/dev/sdc (SATA-2)
/dev/sdd (SATA-1)
3) grub
a) find /grub/stage1
In my case, it showed:
(hd1,0) - SATA-2 - boot-sys - the next 2 partitions are the NEW
drive I am trying to construct per Tim's instructions
(hd1,1) - SATA-2 - boot-f8
(hd1,2) - SATA-2 - boot-f9
(hd2,2) - SATA-1 - boot-f8 - this is my original "untouched"
drive where I started originally. This was the grub I "popped"
b) setup (hd2)
(grub has installed the MBR and fixed my original drive problem
- output was similar to Tim's instructions)
c) quit
d) Reboot - I was able to get my original drive back up and running!)
The new drive I am still working on is:
SATA-2 (750GB)
======================
*** Note *** Actual sizes are not exact!
/dev/sdc1 - boot-sys (100MB)
/dev/sdc2 - f8-boot (100MB)
/dev/sdc3 - f9-boot (100MB)
/dev/sdc4 - Extended Partition
/dev/sdc5 - f8-root (175GB)
/dev/sdc6 - f9-root (175GB)
/dev/sdc7 - f-App1 (351GB)
/dev/sdc8 - swap (~5GB) (I have 2GB RAM)
To be continued....
Cheers!
