I never tried. I often use Ubuntu's live CD and it fixes GRUB very easily. On Fedora I imagine it would be something like this:boot into rescue mode and go:chroot /mnt/sysimagegrubfind /grub/stage1then put the output of the last command instead of the question marks here:root (hd?,?)(it would probably be root (hd0,1))thensetup (hd0)and thenquitAlso check out this great rescue CDIt can restore Grub and Lilo and do lots of other stuff as wellI think it's Gentoo based but you can use it on any computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
