I screwed up my system by trying to move the /boot partition located at /dev/hda2. I wanted to make more room on /dev/hda1 to a larger windows partition. Since I had been backing up all my partitions onto a secondary drive I did not think there would be a problem. After deleting both hda1 and hda2 and remaking them using fdisk I copied the backup boot directory to /dev/hda2. Now the problem. The system will not boot since I lost the stage1 part of grub which was on hda2. How could I, using the rescue system from the DVD, reinstall grub so hda2 would contain the stage1 loader. I tried grub-install and grub from the command line in the rescue mode without luck. Can anyone explain, in simple term, how to recover a bootable partition? Thanks, Terry -- Sig line not working yet!
