How can I restore the GRUB? I > think restalling the RH is not good way. I think the following will work but I don't dual boot. 1. Take your current /etc/grub.conf file and back it up to floppy (just in case) 2. Re-install WinXP making sure that you leave the current RHL partitions alone 3. Install WinXP 4. Boot from your first Linux CD into rescue mode boot: linux rescue 5. When you get the base Linux rescue environment up, chroot to the new environment: # chroot /mnt/sysimage 6. Re-install grub (assuming you installed onto /dev/hda): # grub-install /dev/hda 7.
