how do I re-establish GRUB

Hi
I have a dual-boot system with W2K and RH8.0
I need to re-install W2K, it will however overwrite MBR.

My question is:
How do I re-establish the GRUB bootloader.

Hi there,

If you grab the Red Hat Rescue Disk that you created at installation, then you can boot into RH 8.0 from this. Then, log in, open a Command Prompt and type:

su [enter]
[your root password] [enter]
/usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda [enter]
shutdown -r now [enter]

(and remove the Rescue Disk)

This will:

1. Reinstall GRUB
2. Reboot the system

Another suggestion would be for those who ignored the request to create a rescue disk :shock:

I keep a Knoppix CD. Boot off the Knoppix CD, which will load GNU/Linux and also mount the partitions for you. You can then edit to your hearts content.

Thanks guy's! This recently happened to me.

One question however, when installing grub will it still recognize the Windows partition as bootable? Or will I have to edit grub to get it to boot Windows also?
