Subject: | Problem with Grub and a new Partition |

Hi all,
I've just installed RedHat 7.3 in a dual-boot
configuration with Win2k. I have 1 HDD (30Gb) that I have partitioned as
follows:
Partition 1: Windows 2000 (4Gb)
Partition 2: Redhat 7.3 Boot Partition
(50Mb)
Partition 3: Redhat 7.3 Root Partition
(5Gb)
Partition 3: Redhat 7.3 Swap Partition (512Mb) -
for some reason this was created as an extended partition.
After this initial step, all was well. I was
able to selected each operating system from the Grub menu on boot.
Unfortunately something seems to have gone awry
when I partitioned and formatted the remainder of the disk (~20Gb) into an NTFS
Partition. I did this using the Win2k repair console and all appeared to
be fine until I rebooted. I can now no longer see the Grub menu and
consequently the only way I can get into my Linux install is to use the Linux
Boot disk! I imagine that my HDD now looks like:
hda0 ------ Win2k NTFS (4Gb)
hda1 ------- Linux Boot partition
(50Mb)
hda2 ------- Linux Root partition
(5Gb)
hda3 -------
--------hda4
Linux Swap partition (512Mb)
--------hda5 NTFS partition (20Gb)
(does this look about right?)
I'm not particularly Linux-savvy so I was hoping
that somebody might be able to help me get my Dual-boot Grub menu up and running
again.
Thanks for any help,
Regards,
Mark Boulton.
