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

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

>     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.

Regards,
Mathias
