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

A PC which has been configured in the bios so that it will start from CD.

This can not be a problem when Pardus/Windows are installed on the PC.

After starting from CD the language screen will appear.

Push the arrow-down key to stop the timer.

After hitting the 'c' key the grub screen will appear.

Give the command root (hd0, (without Enter)

Next hit the 'Tab' key.

After ~2 seconds the partition table will be shown.

The Linux partitions in our example are number 5 and 6.

I will try partition number 6. and add 6) + Enter.

To install Grub in the MBR of the first harddisk give the command: setup (hd0)

This not successfull.

The next one to try is number 5.

This is a success.

Use the 'Esc' key to get to the language screen (top image).

Select English and Continue From Harddisk in the next screen.

The menu screen of Grub will appear now.
