GRUB after-install Fix

Linux beginners with existing Windows XP/2000 systems often install GRUB straight into the partition instead of putting it into the MBR, with the result that the system starts, but contains only Windows. Access to the Kanotix OS is therefore not possible without creating a boot floppy.
Boot with the Kanotix LiveCD, then mount the Kanotix system partition, for example hda3?, from a console or terminal:
which installs it into the MBR.

GRUB after-install

Linux beginners with existing Win XP/Win 2000 system often install GRUB straight into the partition instead of putting it in the MBR, with the result that the system starts, but contains only Windows. An access to the Kanotix OS is therefore not possible without creating a boot floppy.

Solution:

It helps here to boot with the Kanotix LiveCD. Once booted, mount the Kanotix system partition (here for example hda3?) from a terminal:

su
mount /media/hda3?


Then reinstall GRUB:

grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --root-directory=/media/hda3? /dev/hda

Write in the MBR.

(for KANOTIX's version 2005-03 or older use mnt instead of media)
