GNU grub boot loader

[STYMA, ROBERT E (ROBERT)]

The odds are that the issue is the boot order in the BIOS.  If you had boot from
hard drive first and CDROM second, starting with a blank hard drive would boot from
CD, but once there was something that looked bootable on the hard drive, it would
boot from the hard drive.  This would produce what you were seeing.
 
When you power on, there is a screen which tells you to press Del, or F2, or F1,
or something to enter bios setup.  Poke around till you find the boot options and put
the CDROM first and hard drive second (Usually has a name like Primary Master).
You can leave it that way as it will boot from the hard drive unless you stick a bootable
CD in the drive.

Subject: GNU grub boot loader



Hello, 

I am a newbie to Linux and have been installing Fedora Core 2. I recently tried installing all the packages and at some point the install bombed. However, now whenever I reboot the machine, it goes straight to the GNU grub utility. It seems to have overridden the ability to boot to my CDROM so that I can reinstall Linux again. Any idea how I get rid of this?

Thanks, 

Simon
