[Nottingham] Re-installing GRUB

[Siddle, James]

If RH 7.2 is anything like Suse 8.1, it might have auto-recovery
functionality available during installation. I managed to screw up my =
mbr
about 4 times when I was setting up me machine, and each time I just =
booted
with the Suse CD in the drive and it asked me if I wanted to fix the
installation . . . which worked a treat.

		All,

		I re-installed Win98 over the weekend (long story to do with
W2K and ADSL
		and France Telecoms stupidity) and of course it overwrote
Grub. Funny W2K
		French didn't. Anyway, the box dual boots but I can only
boot with the
		floppy I created during the install.

		Is there some way to re-install Grub into the mbr without
having to do a
		full install again? I have a standard RH7.2 with KDE in the
Linux
		partitions.

		Rgs,

		Matt

		P.S. Really sorry to hear about the Bell. When I was at Uni
in Nottingham
		it was the best place for Theakstons and some good music
(jazz and/or
		blues) to start off the evening. Has the Trip still got the
dusty model
		ship up?
