That happened to me before too. I had to boot a live cd and chroot into the partition that contains the /boot directory and then "grub-install /dev/hda". I think something along the lines of "chroot /dev/hda5 /bin/bash" will get you where you need to be. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
