grub hard disk error the only way i could fix it was too reload xp from cd then do a recovery session and the only thing that worked was FIXMBR in this session... After this I could again load my xp how to recover grub in redhat linux so what could have gone wrong with installing fedora?

"hde" (boot-device) + "hdg" was unfortunately configured as raid1-array in the controller-bios and grub could not boot after the installation = "grub harddisk error" with both disks as 2 seperate arrays (controller bios) all was ok an i could boot fedora. -- shrek-m References: grub hard disk error From: zomorf [Date Prev][Date Next] [Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Thread Index] [Date Index] [Author Index]

On the original hard drive I have Windows XP. I removed the harddrive with linux on it and tried to reboot the computer. It now gives me the error "GRUB hard disk error." Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to fix this. I guess what I want to do is get rid of GRUB or make the computer during boot stop looking for GRUB.
