I just made what is probably a very bad mistake... I typed 'grub-install /dev/hda' when I should have done that on /dev/hda1 as /dev/hda is my windows partition. After successfully doing the 'install ...' command and pointing grub to my boot partition (hd0,1), Linus boots fine. However, if I select my windows partition from the grub menu, it says 'GRUB loadiing stage2...' although it has already done this to read the menu.lst file. The system hangs right after this.
I hope this makes sense... I can mount my windows partition. Is their any hope I can undo any of the damage I've done or do I have to reinstall the Winows system files, reinstall GRUB and go from there? Thanks for any thoughts or help, Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------ Joseph Lorenzo Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Graduate Student astron.berkeley.edu/~jhall Astronomy Department 601 Campbell Hall voice: (510) 643-8592 University of California at Berkeley fax : (510) 642-3411 Berkeley, CA 94720-3411 face : 753B Campbell "Current copyright law, with its exceptions and exceptions to exceptions, is not very different from Ptolemy's epicycles and epicycles within epicycles." -Ernest Miller and Joan Feigenbaum, "Taking the Copy Out of Copyright" http://astro.berkeley.edu/~jhall/pdf/MF.pdf Does your congressmember know how you feel?
