Introduction

A (re)installation of Windows will overwrite the Grub bootloader.

This is a manual to restore Grub without a new installation of Pardus.

What do we need ?

• We need the Pardus Live or Installation CD

If you haven't any Pardus CD. Check: http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng/products/index.html

• Configure your bios settings for booting from CD

Enter The Grub Menu

Pardus 2007.x

• Reboot from CD and wait untill the language screen is shown.

• Push the arrow-down key to stop the timer.

• Push the c key and the grub screen will appear.

Pardus 2008.x

• Boot from the Pardus 2008 (Kurulan) installationCD and select the English (US) language.
• When the "Welcome !!" (license) screen is shown press Ctrl+Alt+F1.
• A console screen will appear with "pardus ~ #" as the last line.
• Write grub at the console, then press Enter. Now you are in grub menu

Installing Grub

• Type root ( and press Tab key. ( there is a blank between root and ( ). This will list your possible disks.
• Look for the Pardus partition. In our example it is in hd0, if different for you, change due to your partitions.
• Write root (hd0, and press Tab key. This will list your partitions in hd0. Look for the Pardus partition number. You can understand it by checking disk format ( ext3 or ext2fs ). In our example it's in 4th partition. Change it due to your partitions.
• Write root (hd0,4) and press Enter. ( 4 is your Pardus partition as mentioned at previous item )

• Press Ctrl + Alt + Del, restart your PC.
• You must see Grub Menu now.

Tips

Delete Grub

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.
