nellie2 Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 As the title says.... what on earth is Grub v.9.3???I rebooted my comp earlier and that is all it would boot into... told me to press 'tab' to get some commands!!! :huh: couldn't boot into windows or into Linux. I had to run the recovery console in the end and rewrite my Master boot record. That was scary!!!Gonna have to redo Linux now I think :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackrat Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Nell I know how you feel the first time I tried to duel boot windows and linux I managed to trash both OS`s, from a similar position to you except the bootloader was LILO.

Chris Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 If you have problems with bootloaders, you can get rid of 'em by booting from 98 boot disk and at the prompt type:fdisk /mbror from an XP CD in the recovery console:fixmbrBoot into Linux with the boot floppy or reinstall it.
