I have a grub, old from original install, and grub2, that was added when I switched to the new grub. I would have thought the old directory was no longer needed but it appears it is for some reason. I've reinstalled using the grub-mkconfig command but have not reinstalled using the grub-install command. I'm tempted to rename the old directory, install like I would from a fresh new install, MBR and all, then see if it boots. Thing is, having to use the rescue tools if it fails is a bit of a pain. Also, I need to let my hair regrow a bit. ;-) I'm so glad I had printed the info I needed and filed it in a folder. I would have been in a real bad situation if I hadn't. Dale :-) :-)
