    boot up from RH installation CD/DVD and execute this code at boot: prompt
    Code:
    linux rescue
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/sda
    press Ctrl+D two times. Machine will reboot and GRUB will be back in bussiness...

    okkk ! i assume that you have only one HardDisk

    Code:
    linux rescue
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub
    prompt will change to 'grub>'

    Code:
    grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
grub><type output of find command>
grub>setup(hd0)
quit
exit
exit

    root was on /dev/hda8 and after installing windows xp its changed to /dev/hda9

    I was having windows 2000 prof and Redhat Linux 7.2, I formated the c: drive with fat32 and installed windows xp prof. After which my Redhat Linux 7.2 stopped working. When I tried Linux Rescue, it didn't find any linux partition to mount it to /sys/image. When I am typing fdisk -l on the shell, it shows me the linux partition but perviously root was on /dev/hda8 and after installing windows xp its changed to /dev/hda9 and similarily boot also from /dev/hda5 to /dev/hda7.
    Pls. anybody there to help me out to start my linux?

    Hi alam !

    Welcome to the LinuxForums !
    start a New Thread and post the output of fdisk -l command in that.
