It would appear that on May 13, Rudolf Ladyzhenskii did say: > Hi, > > Boot from RedHat CD, then go into rescue mode. > > This will mount your existing file sysetm.

My boot floppy .. ^_^^^^^_^^^^_^^^_???_^^^^^^^^^^^^_^^^__________________________________ >> is not working. I don't have a clue how Koushik installed without them. Possibly he borrowed somebody else's CDs, or maybe he put them away someplace and can't find them. So unless someone can suggest a better solution I think he needs to use his windows to download RH9 iso images from someplace, burn them, and THEN follow your suggestion. I'm not sure if RH9 is even officially available for downloading (I actually bought my RH9 CD at staples in mid 2003.) But I just did a quick google search for: "redhat 9" + iso and followed the 1st link that didn't specify that: "RedHat 9 available to RedHat Network subscribers now, but it won't be freely downloadable ... " which in turn quickly led me to a site that was listing iso's for downloading: http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/RedHat/linux/9/en/iso/i386/ If there is a better site for this would someone please correct me? I don't know what "antivirus software restored the MBR after installation" But I remember when I used to run Norton on my win98, the 1st windows boot after a lilo update always got me a warning that the mbr had changes and asked me to decide if I had done something to cause it. it offered me some choices. One was to restore the original mbr [ eeeeeent wrong choice will destroy grub or lilo.] Another was to update the Norton's mbr image to match the new mbr. [ ding good choice! Now next time this happens, if I'm sleeping on the switch, Norton would actually restore a mbr that included lilo (or grub) Koushik, if your antivirus doesn't let you do what I just described You may need to disable boot time mbr scanning before you reinstall grub. Read your anti virus docs! ;) -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>> But if I actually knew everything, then I'd know I was an idiot... -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
