Grub has to store some absolute file locations in the MBR area, because stage 1 doesn't know about file systems. It looks as if the file locations have changed when you restored the files. Start the rescue system on the installation CD/DVD and mount the installed root (/) filesystem to any convenient place, eg /mnt (if necessary, create the mount point). If you have separate /boot and /usr partitions, you will also need to mount those to /mnt/boot and /mnt/usr, respectively. Now do a "chroot /mnt" followed by "grub-install hd0" to re-install grub into the MBR of hd0. Note: you may wish to verify that hd0 is the scsi drive. This information is in /boot/grub/device.map (remember, you have done a chroot already), which on my system is contains (both are IDE drives): (hd1) /dev/hdb (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda On your system, hd0 should probably be /dev/sda. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
