hi jad, you have a couple of options: 1- to boot into windows, at the grub console write the following. grub> rootnoverify (hd0,0) grub> chainloader +1 grub> boot
2- to boot into linux, at the grub console write the following, use the tab so that grub can complete the filenames. here i'm presuming that you installed linux on /dev/hda5, grub counts up from zero, so /dev/hda5 = (hd0,4) grub> root (hd0,4) grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.xx.xx ro root=/dev/hda5 grub> initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.xx.xx grub> boot this should boot you into linux. just make sure you use the correct device names and file names, otherwise the kernel might boot and then panic, but no harm will be done! after that you could just run lilo, or investigate how to make grub work. i hope this helps ;-) /dev/aram ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jad Madi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "SuSE OT List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Jordan Linux User Group Mailing list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [JoLUG-General] URGENT HELP!
