the ghost I fixed XP with was done before I installed Fedora Core 2 , after
ghosting the linux installation is OK on its own harddrive but the boot choice
has gone, and starts into XP by default, I can enter rescue mode in Linux by
using original installation DVD I downloaded. I tried by using Grub prompt
to grub-install /dev/hdc. message was "unrecognized command". I do not know
enough about Linux to do anymore, one way is to reinstall but this is not me I
want to repair.

<br />For the Grub-install command to work. Once you booted into rescue mode. CD (Change directory) to the boot/grub directory. Then issue that command. It doesn't matter which drive Linux is located on, since it will have to put the Boot information on the first drive. When you ghosted the WinXP stuff back to the first drive, that information would have been destroyed. And since you already had it working before the ghosting, the grub.conf file will still retain the boot information relating the where the linux/windows drives are. This command simply puts the Grub information back onto the main boot drive. There is no need to reinstall.
