Thanks for all the replies, and I think Reiner was right, but trying to figure it out I somehow killed my primary Windows partition. So now I get to spend the next few days installing 2 OS's. Fun Fun Fun

I got the Grub = boot/splash screen, booted into Windows fine.Then I tried Gentoo, and got = "kernel panic - unable to mount filesystem" I know I probably screwed up = the syntax of the grub.conf file. I tried editing the Grub boot from the = splash screen, but now neither Gentoo or Windows will boot. I know I can = FDISK /MBR and nuke Grub, but I want to try and get back in. If I boot off = the Gentoo Stage3 install disk, can I get to root and edit my grub.conf = file ? I am fairly new to this, and would appreciate all help,=20 TIA=20 Gary I installed Gento a couple of months ago and using it at home. I got the same thing the first time around and thought it was my grub.conf. As it turned out, I was using reiserfs for my root partition and when I went back using the bootable gentoo cd, apparently I had forgotten to check reiserfs support in my kernel configuration. So when your boot from the cd, check that all the filesystems you are using are in the kernel configuration.
