At work I have been allowed to put Linux as a dual boot on our one test box (whoohoo!). But, whenever I have to reformat windows 2000 drive for testing reasons, I loose the Grub menu, and can only get back into SuSE via a bootdisk. Now, in the past, with LILO, I could go back into SuSE with a boot disk and simply type "lilo" and it would replant itself back into the MBR. How can I reseat Grub back into the MBR from within Linux, so that I have the O/S boot option menu on boot?

Hi, Try grub-install /dev/hda. I don't have alot of experience with GRUB though :-( -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."

Use YaST? The Bootloader module will (IIRC) reinstall GRUB if it's not installed.
