QUOTE(jedipi @ Mar 5 2006, 05:23 PM) *
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...
