Dual boot and grub

[Thomas Fortner]

boot from thelinux cd and try to upgrade any kernel package. You should
find an option to fiddle with the boot loader for it to give you an
option for the dual boot.

Subject: RH 9 dual boot problem



I am trying to set up a dual boot RH 9 workstation.  I made the
mistake of loading RH 9 first, and then loading Windows XP.
Now, Windows ALWAYS boots, and I can only get RH to
run by booting from a floppy.  When I installed RH, I set GRUB
up to allow either Windows or RH to be selected, but Windows
must have overwritten the MBR.  Is there an easy way to restore
the RH boot record back into the MBR, other than reloading
RH again??

Thanks

Actually, it is easier than all that. Take a look at the man page on
grub-install. This replaces the Windows boot track with the grub boot
track. grub will then read the /boot/grub.conf file to find all its
pieces.
