Hi friends
I had a PC with dual OS (Win XP $ Enterprise Linux 3), on reinstalling
the XP i lost the grub. When i try to fix it thru the first disk of EL3,faced
a error msg as "/dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive".
Please suggest me to fix it...
This is expected behavior since Windows will overwrite the MBR.
Boot into the linux partition with some liveCD ; you can even use your
install CD for that.
Then install grub using grub-install or the interactive grub command.
You have to ensure that the correct Windows file system is recognized by
grub. It is hard to explain. You shall get the hang of it once you play
with it for a while.
Don't worry. This problem is trivial to fix.
As someone suggested it is best to google and read grub manuals before
trying out the recovery process.
Best of luck!
