Installing Grub
There are two methods to restore Grub. Follow one of them.
Method 1
1. Search for the partition(s) containing the file /boot/grub/stage1 [The result will be in the form: (hdx,y)]
find /boot/grub/stage1
2. Set root partition with (replace x,y with the values found above)
root (hdx,y)
3. Restore Grub in the bootsector of the first hard disk
setup (hd0)
Method 2
1. Type root ( and then press the Tab key. ( there is a blank between root and ( ). This will list your possible disks (hd0 hd1).
When there is only one disk installed the filling up of 'root ( +Tab' will be 'root (hd0,' and no disk selection is necessary (in this case skip the next step).
2. Press again the Tab key and the partitions from hd0/hd1 will be listed.
Check for the Pardus partition number by looking for disk format ext3 or ext2fs. In this example I presume partition number 4 is the Pardus partition. Change the number when necessary.
3. Write root (hd0,4) and press <enter>. ( 4 is the Pardus partition as mentioned in the previous item ) 4. Write setup (hd0) and press <enter>. (hd0 is the first hard disk from which the bios will boot)
When we get 'Error 15: File not found" it is not the correct partition and we can start at 'Type root (' again,
and when we get "...... succeeded. Done." Grub has been restored in MBR of hd0.
Restart the computer
1. Exit Grub-mode
quit
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart your computer.
Tips
Restore Windows bootloader
If the Grub installation failed, you can not access neither Pardus nor Windows. In such a scenerio you can delete Grub and get in Windows. Reboot your PC from a Windows Cd. Then press R ( restore ) button on installation screen. Select your installed Windows. And write this command: FIXMBR
Press Enter. Answer all the question as y ( yes ). You're done. Just restart your pc.
