In the meat time, I guess a chroot could do the rescue. read the man pages.
Good luck!
BTW, your goal is certainly achieveable! Happy New Year! :)

Greeting All,
This problem stops me for two days, and wonder this is right place to get a help.
I have a dual boot machine running Windows ME and Linux kernel 2.4.18-3. After upgrade the ME to Windows XP, the GRUB (version 0.91) no longer works. In order to get GRUB master boot loader, I boot from boot floppy with CD 1 and
boot: linux rescue
it mounts system to /mnt/sysimage, then change directory
sh-2.05a#cd /mnt/sysimage
sh-2.05a#grub-install /dev/hda
Got error message: /sbin/grub Not Found
but grub is there! Then I copy grub into /sbin and run grub-install again. Got another error message:
/usr/share/grub/i386-redhat/stage1: Not found
Does anyone have had successful experience on grub-install with XP and kernel 2.4.18-3? It seems the grub-install has a bug.
Your response will be appreciated,
-Hong
