but it says file not found...
though partition is recognised correctly...
pl help!!

[kanishk]

do i need to modify grub.conf???
how to do that?

[devils casper]

re-install GRUB and check if it works.
boot up from Fedora Installation CD and execute this code at boot: prompt

linux rescue
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/hda

press Ctrl+D two times.

in case it doesn't work, post the contents of grub.conf file and output of 'fdisk -l' command.

[devils casper]

you must be logged in as root and 'fdisk -l' <-- its small 'L'.
