It's not too hard to get grub reinstalled to your satisfaction, but I don't have a step-by-step procedure handy. BTW, on my dual-boot machines, I tend to like to install grub in the boot record for the /boot partition and set /boot active with fdisk. That avoids the problem of having Windows overwriting it every reinstall. After reinstalling Windows, one just needs to run fdisk and set /boot active again to have grub work. > > > Sachin > > ________________________________ > > From: Billy Davis [mailto:bdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Mon 4/12/2004 11:36 AM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RH 9 dual boot problem > > > > I am trying to set up a dual boot RH 9 workstation.
