Let it mount your Linux installation when it<br>> finds it. Then<br>> <br>> chroot /mnt/sysimage<br>> grub-install /dev/hda # or whatever your boot drive is<br>> exit<br>> exit<br>> <br>> Yeah, exit twice - once from the chroot shell and once from rescue.<br>> Pop out the cd and the normal grub stuff should come up when it<br>> reboots.<br><br>It should also be pointed out that the reason grub disappears is that<br>Microsoft thinks they own every computer they install on. They wipe<br>out any other boot loaders when they install. Linux is nicer in that<br>while they will wipe out Windows' loader if you ask it
to, it will add<br>Windows to its boot menu.<br><br>So, the rule always is, install Windows first but reserve enough space<br>on the hard drive for Linux. Then install Linux.<br>===============================================================<br>===============================================================<br>after using linux rescue<br>it asks for choose a language<br>and then it asks for type of keyboard do you have.<br>and after that it asks for whatever called network (something).<br>then there are 3 options <br>1)continue<br>2)read only<br>3)skip<br>when I click on continue<br>It does not find linux installation on computer however there is linux installation.<br>how to restore grub <br>I would be thankful to person who could help me out.<br><br>Thanks<br>Manish Soin.<br> </div></div><br>
