Samba-and-Grub?

[Hart Larry]

Hi All:  We just installed windows-xp Home--and so grub was gone.  We tried to 
install grub using by using the rescue cd. At the rescue promopt we chrooted to 
/mnt/sysimage then tried grub-install /dev/sda but this gave anerror message. 
also trying to do a fdisk -l gives an error that cannot open/proc/partitions
gives error /usr/share/grub/i386-redhat/stage1: Not Found. before this we tried 
running samba we got errors saying smbd failed trying to start smb i tried 
using all the known samba startup commands and scripts....all ofthis is on 
Fedora core 4. Any suggestions ???

Thanks
Hart
