and then chose install new boot loader and that's it.

hi, ken here

i had fedora for about 3 months, then some idiot got a hold of my PC and tried to install NT. now im stuck with a blasted grub shell that won't go away, no matter how many times i reinstall fedora.

tried:
-partitioning
-boot sector
-ms dos
-installing other os(2000,98,95)

grub still stays :(

please help!

well, to blast the MBR, boot any recent Linux Live Boot CD. at the shell prompt, do:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1

or /dev/sda, or whatever is your drive that contains grub. bye bye grub. hello, non-booting computer! now install OS du jour...

You can even try to reinstall grub after booting from live CD .

Boot from Fedora CD/DVD/USB/Etc
Choose "rescue installed system", then customise regional parametresand agree with parametres.
Then as the user "root" replace the root directory:

#chroot /mnt/{YOUR_SYSTEM}

#grub-install --no-floppy /dev/{YOUR_SYSTEM_DRIVE}

#grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda
