1 Hi,
2 I installed Gentoo Linux a few days ago on my WinME, and NT system and now my computer is almost unusable because of a stupid mistake I made. Installing from floppy, I think I installed grub on the (hd0,0) instead of (hd0). HD0, 0 is the WinME partition. As a result, it has overwritten the NT Loader which used to boot WinME and NT. Now I can boot Gentoo, but not the other OSes. I tried to install grub again on the (hd0,0) but now it refuses to do it.My question is, is there any way of getting the installation back without reinstalling NT?
3 Also, I am unable to decompress the stuff in the packages directory on the CD as they seem to be corrupt. Did nobody else come across this? I got the rc4_pre2 cd a couple of days after it was released.
4 I hope I was able to explain my situation. I will appreciate your help.
