Hello.
I recently added a hard disk. It can with an
ATA card that I hooked it up to, configured on
cable select. WinXP is on the first HD (master),
plugged into the motherboard.
Then I installed Fedora on the new drive. Later
I found out the ATA card gave me no advantage and
prolonged the boot up, so I yanked it, set the
new HD as slave, and used the MB IDE port for
both HDs.
Then I rebooted and instead of Linux or Win XP,
I get:
grub >
along with a bunch of commands that didn't
seem to do anything. I used fdisk/mbr to
wipe the MBR on the first drive and now grub
is dead and I can boot to Win XP. I don't
know how to get back to the Linux install.
Can I fix this without reinstalling Linux?
thanks.
