General Support - grub partially broke

Hi all,

Got two hard drives. Drive 1 had XP installed. On drive 2, I installed Kanotix. Grub had entries for Kanotix and XP. Hardware was set to boot the Kanotix disk.

For a few weeks, the dual boot worked fine. Now, if I select XP, grub throws a message "chainloader (HD1, 0)+1" and that's where it freezes. I can go into hardware and boot the XP disk directly with no problems.

Any idea how to repair grub?

Depending what version of Kanotix you are using


2006-01-RC1

Just put in the Live CD, go to Kmenu > Kanotix -> kanotix installer

and click on Recover an existing Kanotix-HD-Installation and from there just choose MBR

Easter rc4/older

put in the Live CD, click on the fish -> kanotix installer

and click on Recover an existing Kanotix-HD-Installation and from there just choose MBR

or

put in the Live CD

mount your kanotix /

then as root

grub-install --root-directory=/media/hdxx /dev/hdxx
