Hi All,
I have a dual boot machine (Win XP and Fedora Core4)
using grub as the bootloader. The loader was working
fine for both Windows and Linux till I started playing
around with it.
I edited /etc/grub.conf and ran 'grub-install
/dev/hda8' (windows partition) instead of
'grub-install /dev/hda' so basically the Linux
bootloader has overwritten the Windows boot loader.
Realizing my mistake, I ran 'grub-install /dev/hda'.
If from the main grub screen I choose 'Linux', I can
boot into Linux but if I choose 'Windows' I get to the
same bootloader again.
Another problem, I can't mount the windows partition
(NTFS) since FC4 apparently doesn't support it.
Can I, in anyway, recover the Windows bootloader?
Thanks,
Sumit
