Hi, Boot from RedHat CD, then go into rescue mode. This will mount your existing file sysetm. Go inti existing file sysetm and and find '/sbin/grub-install' (path is relative to the mount point of your original file system. You may have to specify the device (/dev/hda), read in the GRUB manual.

My boot floppy is not working.I used a utility called R-Linux(http://www.data-recovery-software.net/Linux_Recovery.shtml) to extract files fro the ext2fs linux partion to the FAT32 partion and tried using loadlin(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Loadlin+Win95-98-ME.html).The kernel is decompressed and it detects the hardware but when mounting the root partion I get an error :"Unable to mount due to unsupported optional features(4)." How do I boot into Linux?Please Help. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
