David,
I am assuming that you tried to boot from you Linux boot disk...
When you do that, you will get a Lilo prompt. Just log into linux as root
and run "/boot/grub/./install.sh", No parenthesis. This will re-load Grub
and you will get passed stage1 the next time you logon.
Hope this helps,
The Moose

Subject: [newbie] grub wont boot
Hi,
after a disasterous attempt to install kde2.0 i decided i had to reinstall
linux mandrake 7.1 from CD again. in an attempt to keep everything in /home
i only formatted the root partition and then reinstalled MD7.1. everything
seemed to befine until it was time to boot up, all i get is "stage1" then
it stalls .. usually grub boots up at the stage 2 point but no matter how
often i try to get it to work it always comes up with the same stage1 then
it stops
does anyone know what could cause this to happen...
btw i also tried to install lilo but its the same?
Bye 4 now
David
