I'm just starting to mess around with grub. Not very familiar with it (yet). Here is something that could help.
I had an instance where I was multibooting with Redhat 7.1 and Windoze XP. Originally I had Windows 98SE and had enough. From Linux I deleted the windows partition then rebooted to my XP cd and performed an install. Once completed I inserted my 7.1 boot disk and ran lilo. This overwrote the boot sector and now I can boot 7.1 or XP from lilo. Grub should have a similar utility available. Perhaps reading the man page would shed some light? BTW, my 7.1 root is hda1 or 2 I believe. Hope this helps. > > >I've got RH 7.2. Just got a new harddrive. Let's call it HD1, the new >one HD2. /boot and / are on HD2, Windows and such is on HD1.
