Post subject: | Reinstalling GRUB |
Bit of a noob to Linux so please bear with me. I have Debian Lenny installed on my laptop, unfortunately I updated my Windows 7 Beta to the RC at the weekend and guess what - yep forgot that it updates the MBR and now can't get into Linux. ![]() I've tried using the install disk in rescue mode but cannot get GRUB back. Is there a straightforward easy way to get Debian back up and running without having to re-install. The only live CD I have is SUSE which identifies my hard drive as /dev/sda*, yet using fdisk -l via the rescue method shows /dev/hda*. Re-installing is going to be a pain as all the files I need (python, etc) for my mobile broadband are in my /home folder. (it took days to get it working in the first place!). Any help would be appreciated. |
