Hi Lee, top posting this.
Update is I am almost back all way and hope to get back to reading on the
'backup' new power brick came in so I got the GH box back up AKA celf, Dell is
belf & this box is aelf. So all ready to set all 3 up to do the resync soon as
I understand what the heck I am doing. I had to stop for a week from side
effects, doc tried new drug to control my pain but were too severe, had to
stop, and withdrawal is a pure bitch. Sadly drug did work but.....
Would u please give me the code to auto mount my usb drive it got lost in that
update and I am so dingy I can't follow the How-tos. Very nervous messing wi
the sys boot anyway. I would appreciate it greatly I want it in dir
/home/herb/flash.
Thanks big, bro!

Here's some good info on how to restore Grub giving you a couple of
options. Easiest way is to boot Linux on your hard drive with the Rescue
CD and then just install grub; no chroot is required in this case.
