help! Grub Fails to load after RePartition,. Help

[n3wo]

Yeah, 'cause a bunch of people have told me that it's easier to re-configure (you don't have to run it once before changes take effect)

I think that the problem was that I used Partition Magic to move some partitions aroung, so the boot sector got confused about where to find partitions and files, etc. The advantage to linux putting all of ur persona lfiles into the home directory is that backing stuff is really easy! All my personal files fit onto one CD (I've only had this installation up for a few weeks) and there was no chance of my own documents being in some other folder (let's hear it for strict permissions!!!)

Thanks again for all ur support, I almost had a heart attack yesterday!

i've locked myself out many times. lol
that's why i always carry around my memory stick and i have a bunch of empty zip disks lying around

Yeah, I got knoppix a day before this happened, so luckily I had access to a "recovery" cd that can burn backups! Knoppix Rules!!!!!
And so does the fact that linux doesn't have to overwrite the whole drive and kill the other resident os in the process of re-installing (unlike another common os...)

[lakerdonald]

yes. that is convenient.
wow, this thread really boosted your post count up. lol

At the risk of boosting it further, I'm gonna say "Yes, it did."
