Noobie GRUB Question.

[Intercept]

Hi all,

I would very much apprecaite some help with this.

Im trying to ghost my linux server using norton ghost and it images np but when restoring it comes up with a GRUB error. This is known to norton and they have a fix.

It goes something like this..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start the computer from the Linux rescue disk.
Log in as "root" (without the quote marks).
Run the GRUB boot loader. This displays the GRUB prompt, grub>
Type:

find /boot/grub/stage1

This will prompt GRUB to display the location of the GRUB boot files. For instance, GRUB might display (hd0,1) where hd0 represents the first hard drive in the computer (either IDE or SCSI) and the ",1" represents the partition where the /boot/grub/stage1 file is located. In this example, the stage1 file is located on the second partition of the first hard drive (where drive and partition numbering start at 0).
Type the word root, followed by the location of the file from the previous step:

root (hd0,1)

The file location, (hd0,1) may be different on your computer.
Type:

setup (hd0)

This will write the boot loader to the Master Boot Record on the first hard drive on the computer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So thats fair enough. One thing that has me stumped tho is the part that says "Run the Grub boot loader". Can anyone tell me how I can get to a grub prompt?

Also any suggestions on a rescue disk would be appreciated.

OK thanks for that, I actually tried that and it didnt work.

Either way I have given ghost the flick and used something else.

Thanks
