Hey, I installed Red Hat Linux just yesterday, and for a reason that I don't know of, the GRUB boot loader will not execute on the startup. Instead, it says something like, 'GRUB hard disk failure', but I can't remember the exact words, I've been troubleshooting Linux for a while and haven't seen the message recently.
I have two hard disks installed - one of them has Windows XP, and the other has Red Hat. I am not able to boot into Windows XP ... I'm lucky to even run Linux off the boot disk that setup created for me (glad I made that one). I am a digital musician and I just can't lose my work; I have thousands of songs and thousands of dollars of virtual and physical equipment that I depend on. I haven't lost any of that right? After all, I did tell setup to not touch the master disk (Windows XP) except for the MBR. I've tried reinstalling GRUB from both the Linux CDs and the FTP site. I got pretty darn close to getting GRUB installed with the downloaded file off your site, but the terminal gave me messages like 'you do not have permission to this folder', but I still can't remember what it said exactly. Even when I logged in as the administrator through my personal account. Oh, one more thing ... when Linux was installing, right at the very very end of the installation right after I clicked Finish to reboot the system, it gave me numerous errors, as if it were installing the GRUB boot loader and my PC rejected it. Maybe it's the NTFS file system that's installed on my master disk that GRUB's not compatible with. I don't recall what it said, but I remember that it printed text in batches, not just individual lines. Can you help?? I'm totally in need of a working GRUB boot system! Thanks for reading my email.
