Hello,
I'm using RedHat 9.0 and Windows XP Home Edition.
Now, when I installed RedHat and it asked for the necessary grub details, I was still running Windows 98 SE. That combination worked well with the dual-boot system.
Later, I installed Windows XP and that erased the MBR and did not include the Linux boot sequence. So, I tried using the installation CDs to reconfigure Grub to the dual boot but I was unsuccessful when trying to use the upgrade option in the RedHat installations. Therefore, I went to use grub-install and I installed it first into /dev/hda1 which was probably a mistake and that's what I'm mostly likely trying to fix. I then used grub-install to put it into /dev/hda.
When the dual-boot screen comes up, Windows is attempted to install but to no avail. Grub gets to stage 2... and sits there. I haven't let it go for more than 5 minutes. No error message appears before that time. I've tried to have Windows repair the MBR but some part of Grub is always left and it doesn't boot anything after that. So, I go back and type in grub-install /dev/hda.
If you have any suggestions on how to fix this without reformatting Windows XP or RedHat, then that would be wondeful. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Brent
