If I had used RedHat within the last 10 years, I might have a boot disk. 
:-) Last time I used RH was ... 5.2? I'm a Debian guy, kubuntu at the 
moment.

Uhhmmm .... did you not read my post, where I said I had tried all this, 
and it failed? I do know that my installation is /dev/hda2(or hd0,1). 
But grub doesn't seem to like that partition, nor can it find those 
files (altho they do exist).

Update: I boot Super Grub Disk, and it couldn't fix my MBR, nor boot my 
Linux partition. Said "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable 
format" when it tried to boot from /dev/hda2.

So I think I'm hosed ....

Thanks
