almost. 1) Boot Knoppix 2) mount /dev/hdg2 to /mnt/hdg2 (this is /) 3) chroot ./hdg2 4) mount all linux partitions from the /etc/fstab from the chroot 5) make backup of /boot/grub 6) grub-install /dev/hda1 > (snip) > > The MBR did not get updated: still points to XP. I wonder whether live > Knoppix allows write access to the MBR. Sorry if I'm being an idiot here but, if it didn't install the MBR, then how is it I'm now getting the grub menu on boot rather than the Windows boot loader list of OSs? Just want to get things correct in my head before trying any of this. I don't want to lose the 1 working OS I have atm :) Thanks, Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
