Re: Grub problem?

I installed a pure 64 machine with grub to boot either XP or limux.
Everything went perfect! Good job.
But when starting the system I get:

GRUB loadind stage 1.5

for about 1 minute and then:

GRUB loading.. please wait.

for another minute and then the menu comes up.
Since I am new to Debian, I need explanation on how to fix that. Can I
apt-get remove and then install grub again? Or something else?
Thank's for your help.

No, apt-get remove will remove the package from your syst�me, it will not remove the grub program that have been installed on your hdd (probably on the mbr).
To remove grub you can:
- Overwrite it with a fresh copy of the grub program (grub-install /dev/hdx will do the job)
- Overwrite grub with lilo, you have first to download the lilo package and cnfigure it.
- Restore an old existing MBR
