MBR on my computer trying to get a grml install of Debian as a second<br>
OS. Alas, the solutioinwas to get a Ubuntu usb for my current install<br>
and do 'grub-install --root-directory=/media/myOS /dev/myHDD' And now<br>
I am back to having a bootable system. No files lost and only a few<br>
new gray hairs as I worried over how restore MBR.<br>
It seems that both Debian install and grml use Grub 1(0.97) and I am<br>
on Grub2, which is entirely re-vamped and has different configuration<br>
and module files. So, be aware that as always, boot system, kernel and<br>
OS need to be compatible and configured. Always good to keep a startup<br>
usb for ones own system. Yes and maybe the latest Knoppix, too. Mine<br>
was out of date and like the others it uses Grub 1.<br>
Have a good week anddon'tmess your MBR. Ted P.<br>
