Yes, it works because of that. Use 64bit live system. I don't know if you've done it but after making chroot go to / and type mount -t proc proc proc or mount -a. You need proc to run grub-install Done a couple times with SuSE rescue system (the 64bit live I have) -- Registered Linux User 369908 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Re-install grub.
Thanks all. It's working. What I did : I boot with Ubuntu Live CD 64bit. Just after I choosed the keyboard I go to tty2. 1: #mkdir newroot 2: #mount /dev/hda3 newroot/(hda3 is my root) 3: #chroot newroot If i do #grub-install /dev/hda I have an error : "Invalid device requested" So I did to continue 4: #grub 5: >root (hd0,2) 6: >setup (hd0) 7: >quit By Le mardi 24 janvier 2006 à 23:50 +0100, KawaK a écrit : > First, thanks to you for your answers. > > I tried with the debian CD installer "expert mode".

Re: Re-install grub.
I recently ran the amd64 net install on my Win2000 system (I'd already set aside disk space for the linux installation). I was also a bit nervous about having Debian overwrite the MBR (although it's never given me any problems in the past), so when I was asked to install grub I declined, I left the MBR untouched. Then I created a grub floppy (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Creating-a-GRUB-boot-floppy.html#Creating-a-GRUB-boot-floppy) and tested my booting situation with that. Once I felt comfortable that everything looked okay, I went ahead and installed grub to the MBR "natively" (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-natively.html#Installing-GRUB-natively). After that everything worked just fine. Grub's pretty darn flexible, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with how to use it to boot your system. Here's a link to a guy who's using it to boot over 100 operating systems on his machine: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=143973 What he's done there can provide you with some good examples. (The grub documentation is also helpful.) Btw, I also saved the boot records on my drive using "dd" and put them in a safe place, both before and after the linux install so I can easily restore them, just for peace of mind! -- Scott Edwards --- Michael Dominok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Thierry, > > no hint to your problem but ... > > On Tue, 2006-01-24 at 21:19 +0100, Thierry LARMIER > wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > I want to format my FAT32 disk and re-install > windows ( Windows need to > > be re-installed often. :-))).

Re: Re-install grub.
Hi Why don't you do a boot-disk [1], or try with a flash memory [2] (I haven't tried it) and once you have grub, you can restore your MBR from it [3].

Re: Re-install grub.
First, thanks to you for your answers. I tried with the debian CD installer "expert mode". I choose language +keyboard. But grub is not installed at this level. So I continue with "module loading" in the installation. After there is partman. But I was scared to continue and scratch my debian installation. So I stop here. Tomorow I will try with a Ubuntu live CD 64bits.

Probably; I've never tried that on my amd64 system. Anyway, you mention (hd0,3) and /dev/hda3 above. Since grub starts numbering at 0, /dev/hda3 would be (hd0,2). -Corey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes. I suggest you to use the Debian installation disk. There you can switch to a console with Ctrl+F2 and then choose grub-install /dev/hda. At least that's what I've done.
