Hi Richard, |

The full output from running your suggested command after editing the grub.conf file per your instructions was |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes |
| 6 |
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes |
| 7 |
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage_1_5" exists... yes |
| 8 |
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 15 sectors are embedded. |
| 9 |
succeeded |
| 10 |
Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+15 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded |
| 11 |
Done. |
| 12 |

I still have the same response when I try to reboot :-( |
