hi, My friends' system is in a critical situation. Hdd. is /dev/hdc. CD-WR is /dev/hdd. created a bootable linux iso img. MISTAKE part: dd if=iso.img of=/dev/hdc.Instead of hdd. To retrive it back we tried the following: 1.)lilo: 1st sector of the device doesn't has valid boot signature. 2.)grub-install /dev/hdc the device doesn't has BIOS recognition. though multiboot,tried out this : 3.)dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/hdc grub-install /dev/hdc the device doesn't has BIOS recognition. 4.)backed up the /boot/grub copied the grub of another sys in the network, replaced the /boot/grub.conf with the backedup grub.conf(i.e old one) again grub-install failed with the same reason. Net connectivity is available.Is there anyway he can recover the mbr ?Other os is windows 2000.He did backup the entire data and the system is working fine now. Desperately waiting for a solution. Thanks a lot in advance. kaushal. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
