He/she is now completely informed how to proceed. Ciba LO, to restore your boot block: boot the rescue system from cd 1 and chroot your currently installed system (/dev/hda10 as of your posting). The steps are described on screen of the rescue system. Make shure that your /boot partition is mounted, too! If not, try "mount /dev/hda9 /boot". grub-install /dev/hda9 should install the boot block. If it doesn't help, you may: a) check/repair the file system on /dev/hda9 and retry grub-install b) install grub on /dev/hda (the mbr, it desables your current boot manager!) When the Linux system works, you may have to reinstall it. Peter
