How to re-install grub in hda?

[Paul Smith]

Dear All

I had grub installed in the disk hda, but I have meanwhile formatted
hda. How can I re-install grub again in hda? I am using a Knoppix and
I do not have access to hde, the disk where Fedora is installed,
because I cannot boot into it.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Hi!

First I would suggest you to boot up with the Fedora Rescue CD or with
your Fedora Installation DVD by using:

"linux rescue"

as boot option!

Mount your system partitions and then execute:

grub-install /dev/hda

That should do it!

Greetings,

Claus

As you move along the steps to the rescue console your linux install is
mounted under /mnt/sysimage for you.  At the point you will be told to
issue the command chroot /mnt/sysimage in order to function as if you
had booted into that install.  Once you've 'chroot'ed you can issue the
command grub-install /dev/hda (probably sda if you are in an environment
using a 2.6.20 kernel).
