Hi all, sorry ... i've been snowboarding for some days, that's why i didn't answer for quite a while...
>>> when i do >>> grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/hda2 /dev/hda >>> it says: >>> cannot create folder /mnt/hda2/boot/grub, is already existing >>> >> >> Did you use a root account or sudo? The default knoppix user should not >> have permission to do this. I have not used grub in a while, I prefer >> the systemrescuecd but it is not as friendly as knoppix. here's what i did: sudo mount -rw /mnt/hda2 sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/hda2 /dev/hda knoppix says: -> mkdir: cannot create directory /mnt/hda2/boot/grub: already existing > And please give us more information: > sudo parted /dev/hda print > part_hda.txt Warning: The partition table on dev/hda is inconsistent (...a lot of text abut using LBA is recommended) (ignore) -> Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0 ... primary boot 2 ... ... primary ext3 3 ... ... primary ext3 4 ... ... extended 5 ... ... logical linux-swap minor 1 is the current boot installation without running system minor 2 was the old root / which should get the boot flag minor 3 was old /home minor 5 was swap > resp. sda, sdb etc. for all disks and post the part_xxx.txt files and > also post /boot/grub/menu.lst cat /mnt/hda2/boot/grub/menu.lst -> i/o error everything else, than the /boot/grub folder can be read from the disk. i editet /mnt/hda2/boot/grub/menu.lst with the same knoppix CD some days before after mounting it r/w.
