Re: [PLUG] Can't seem to reinstall grub

I don't do "Kubuttu" :) was offering you up some ideas that would hopefully lead you down the path. However, Grub is pretty universal so I'm glad you found a fix with or without me help.

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
