reinstall grub

Often, when you use windows you will have to format you system because of virus and spyware.

If you are using linux in dual boot with windows, then, grub will be erased and you will not be able to boot to linux.

Fortunately, it is easy to reinstall grub if such situation happens. Just follow these steps:

1. Boot with the installation media (CD/DVD)
2. Choose rescue existing system
3. The system existing will be mounted on /mnt/sysimage
then, execute the following commands

chroot /mnt/sysimage

and then

grub-install /dev/sda

assuming the your fedora system is installed on /dev/sda. You can check this with fdisk -l.



good luck

    this will install the grub on MBR
    there is also a another method,

    root (hdx,y)
    setup (hdx,y) or (hdx)

    boot from (almost) any live cd
    # su
    # grub
    grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda (or whatever your disk is)
    grub> root (hd0, 0) (tell it which partition to use)
    grub> setup (hd0)
    grub> quit
    #

    I suggest you to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and to put the right entry in default parameter. it is quite easy, juste make a deep look at that file ....
