Hi Ananth, I booted from Belenix and tried to re install the grub. My solaris root is in /dev/desk/c0d0s0. However, when i give grub install i get the error which says "device /dev/dsk/c0d0s2 is not a char device". Hence, i am unable to recover the grub. Dear Moinak, After giving root (hd0,<tab>) in the grub i get a list of partitions numbered from 0. Partition 1 shows BSD/Solaris and it is further numbered from a to e. Each partition shows a file system. Could you please guide me how to proceed from there? Regards Sreedhar gs

Looks like GRUB stage 2 is unable to locate the menu.lst file. Looks kind of weird to me that a Windows hang would screw the MBR, though I have seen this reported by others. In the GRUB shell enter the following: root (hd0, Pressing the TAB key after "hd0," will display the list of partitions. What do you see ?
