Use installation CD of the Debian. Boot with it typing at boot prompt: rescue. Choose the .../part4 where is your / directory. When came to the Rescue operations, choose to run a shell on this partition. Here you mount if you have to your /usr partition with: 'mount /usr' command. Run the command: 'grub-install /dev/sda' and 'update-grub'. Then Ctrl + Alt + Del and remove your installation CD and reboot. You should now to get the Grub menu. -- Regards, Paul Csanyi http://www.freewebs.com/csanyi-pal/index.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
