Restoring linux GRUB bootloader after Windows partition reinstall
Hi all, I currently have a single machine with 3 HDD's namely: 1) 20Gb linux partitioned drive 2) 6.5Gb Win95 OS drive (my documents are sitting under /home on linux) 3) 7.5Gb linux native drive for backup of the hda's /home etc. My Win95 install on hdb recently went bottoms up after several linux distro installs on hda. I would therefore like to reload Windows and the financial software I use (Quicken98) as I have not seen or found a linux alternative as yet. Problem 1: Selecting Windows from the GRUB bootloader does not load Windows but gives chainloader errors. Therefore I will be booting from a Win95 boot disk to install Windows.Everything I think should be fine until I want to boot back into my preferred OS (linux). I have a Suse 9.0 boot disk and know I could boot from that but I do not know the command to isue to redetect and reinstall the bootloader. I can remember under LiLo it was issuing the cmd /sbin/lilo but I do not know for GRUB. any pointers? -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Licenced semi-ex-Windows user Registered Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Using SuSE 9.0 with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================
