Installing Grub

  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).
  Check for the Pardus partition number by looking for disk format ext3 or ext2fs. 
  In our example it's in 4th partition. Change it when necessary.
  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.

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.
