Restoring GRUB
Problem:
My system was configured to use GRUB to boot either Linux (MDK7.1 on
hda6) or win2k (NT boot loader). During a recent forced reinstall of
win2k, the NT bootloader overwrote GRUB, forcing me to use a boot
diskette to get into Linux.
I then tried to reinstall GRUB -
login as root,
cd /boot/grub,
# sh install.sh
Still no GRUB. NT bootloader still owns mbr.
Question:
If I boot to DOS, and then run C:\> fdisk /mbr
will that return me to the status quo ante, i.e. the mbr owned by
GRUB? Or am I likely to end with a system which won't boot to
anything?
TIA. David.
