I see you have knoppix. Boot with it. Find out what your / partition is. I will assume it is /dev/hda2. Open a root console and type these commands: umount /dev/hda2 mount -o rw /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 mount -o bind /dev /mnt/hda2/dev chroot /mnt/hda2 mount /proc grub-install exit reboot This should do the trick ;) Andrei P.S.
