Harish, As I wrote in mail, I was able to install GRUB. My problem was to bring up an NTFS partition that Mandriva is refusing to mount. Thanks for your attention to my question. After I posted the question, I ran fsck.ntfs from System Resuce CD. It said that partition's allocation table is corrupted, running chkdsk in windows will help it. I booted from a Windows XP CD and ran it. Suprisingly, it fixed it. I think NTFS is still one of the best kept secrets of Microsoft. Still some problem exists. After booting to Mandriva GNU/Linux, the other two NTFS partitions are not mounting. I have to manually add a ntfs-3g mount command in init.d/rc.local and a chmod -R 777 to enable read and write mode in the mounted folder. I have a doubt, if a large number of data is in those partitions, will it affect the boot time, since the chmod takes sometimes to finish its job? I am going to remove all those NTFS partitions and create ext3 whenever my friend gets a HDD of enough free space.
