Thanks to all the replied. That did it. Would like to see examples of the commands in the help files though. Sometimes they are written for programmers. Art On Thu, 2003-12-18 at 14:17, Dylan wrote:

Tried suggestions from Marshall Heartley with no success.
Booting from CDROM rescue
Rescue lgin: root Rescue:~# mount /dev/hda6 /mnt cd /mnt chroot try 'chroot --help' for more information.
Do the chroot --help and from what I understand from it, I do
chroot newroot /mnt/usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda chroot: cannot change root directory to newroot: No such file or directory.
When the help info says NEWROOT it means that is where you type the new root directory. You need:
chroot /mnt /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
NOTE: space between /mnt and /usr... and between ...install and /dev...
/mnt IS the NEWROOT - i.e., from the POV of your command
Maybe you should read man chroot ASAP
