Thank you. > Hi Fabrizio Is /dev/cciss/c0d0 an HD or partition? What is /dev/cciss/c0d0p1? I couldn't get very well this names.. Did you try this: 1- 'chroot /mydir /bin/bash' when you are in SysRescueCD environment so you can run the shell as if you were in you system; and 2- 'grub-install /dev/hda' to install grub in the MBR of 'hda' (hda is an example. Use your own device name). Cheers, Rafael
