I have Windows XP and Fedora 4 installed in my PC.
Grub is the boot loader.

Today, I decided to reinstall Windows XP.
After the installation finished, I boot into fedora 4 with rescue disk.
then.. chroot, grub-install /dev/hda,
reboot.
but I could not boot into the system.
It just show me this, grub>
There is no option for me to choose. (It uses to have a list.)

Then I fdis /mbr,
root (hd0,0), set(hd0)

yes, the grub menu is back.
But cannot boot into both system (windows xp and Fedora 4)

fc4: invalid compressed format (err=1)
xp:disk error ,press any key to restart

any idea how to fix this problem??
Thank you.



Its quite often problem occurrs,

There are onliy few steps to come over the problem

1. Put the CD of Windows 98 in your CD ROM Drive

2. Boot from the CD-Rom

3. go to the CD-ROM's Win 98 folder

by typing

(a) cd your drive letter:
(cool.gif cd win98

4. the last step you hav to do is type the following command as

fdisk /mbr

It will install the windows BOOT LOADER again

5. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del

6. Remove your Windows 98 Cd

7. your Window will start with no error on that.

Have a nice Day

I had a similar issue: I changed my HDD to 320 GB on PII computer. Very nice but the bios was able to see only 60 GB. Anyway I agreed to scarifice the remaining 260 GB smile.gif and try to make a dual boot computer by firstly install windows and then FC5 (before installation I did a partition for windows (with fdisk) primari 5GB and extended 25. Well after installing Windows I installed FC5 but although the grub was showing both OS's my windows was not working. I didn;t dig more in the issue...I just continued using FC5 alone...

    (6)
    Hi all, I tried to install Fedora Core 9 in a VmWare virtual machine under WinXP. I downloaded the

    how to reinstall GRUB after windows reinstall (9)
    Ok so for a long time I had my dual boot working great, windows and ubuntu. But 2 days ago my
    windows required a wipe and clean install because of some issues, like it usually happens after 8
    months. So I reinstalled windows, well, first deleted the windows partition using the windows XP
    install CD. Then assigned a partition for windows (same size) and left the ubuntu and swap partition
    intact. But of course, windows deletes GRUB and replace it with their boot info, so now I can't
    boot ubuntu (I can't choose). How can I reinstall GRUB without having to reinstal....

  7. Problem With Grub
    error code: 16 (5)
    this was a confusing topic to post...it is a mixture of problems...both hardware and software. and
    it has to deal with both linux and windows...but i decided to put it here because the main problem
    is the linux. i had dual booted my machine with linspire 5.0 and windows xp...since i did linspire
    5.0 last...like i am suppose to, it used the grub boot loader. i decided after a while to get rid of
    linspire and just use vpc within windows to mess around with it. so i formated the partition within
    windows (prolly not the best idea). this got rid of the os but kept the bootlo....
