yes, I did , It did not work. What about this : Do I need to change it as well ?

I am looking at this stage to fix the problem of windows (I can not boot it), before i go head and install solaris.

Any help or thought ?

When I use Knoppix V4 to edit file , I received this message : You do not have enough permission to read file://mnt/hdb4/boot/grub/menu.lst How can I get root previlidge to modify above file ?

See this quoted form the link below: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=97594#97594

Yes,,,,By the way I can boot the system with Linux FC4. I had alreday used cfdisk form Knoppix CD, to create partitions for second hard disks. I am going to redo it again by using cfdisk form Knoppix CD,,,but at this stage this is not my problem,,,the problem I can not boot to Windows

I have not formatted the Solaris partition yet,,,just I prepared it for future installation.

Yes I did, It did not work. I have got very strange thing, when I checked the grub.conf,,,I found this : title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) root (hd 0,3) Kernel----------------- My linux partitions on hdb not hda,,,how does the root become hd0 ? Linux FC4 can boot normaly without any problem.,,,,,Do I need to modify it as well ?

This issue has been solved in Solaris 10 as has been mentioned in a discussion forum

No, I have not,,,but I have to do this

I have got two HDs, each one 40 GB. Connected to one cable to IDE0 (one hard disk master and the other is slave). First HD (master or hda) is divided to : 15 GB NTFS for XP, 5 GB FAT32 for Storage, and 20 GB NTFS for win2003,,,,I had already installed both windows (XP and 2003). Second HD (slave or hdb) is divided to : 20 GB Solaris (hdb1,,,to be installed later) , 5 GB NTFS for Storage (hdb2) , 500 MB Linux swap (hdb3), 14.5 GB ext3 Linux (hdb4). I installed Linux FC4 on hdb4 and chose the option for GRUB bootloader to be installed on : " /dev/hda Master Boot Record (MBR) ". When I finished t

Thanks for your reply. Yes,,,this is my problem,,,,How can I disable this.

Could you please let me know which one of these : http://download.atrpms.net/mirrors/scienti...4/RPM-GPG-KEYs/ Do we want me to try install it from command line not GUI,,,because I had done through GUI before ?

I downloded Mandrake OS official 10.1 ,,,Test media was ok, and SHA1 was ok for all 4 CDs. I tried to install GCC through: Software manager-->select the development program group-->install GCC. I received the message below during installation: When I checked these command: 1- which gcc 2- gcc --version 3- rpm -q gcc It showed me that It has not been installed. How can I overcome this issue ?

May be this link useful http://linuxgazette.net/107/tomar.html

In your motherboard you have two IDEs (controllers) which are IDE0 (primary) and IDE1 (secondary). In each IDE you can two hard disks master and slave,,,That means : 1- You have primary master (Linux hda) and primary slave (Linux hdb).----If both HD are connected to one cable to IDE0 (primary) then linux will name them hda and hdb respectivly 2- You have secondary master (Linux hdc) and secondary slave (Linux hdd).------If both HD are connected to one cable to IDE1 secondary then linux will name them hdc and hdd respectivly

Thanks shanenin for this nice and detailed explaination You meant salve on the first ide (primary), not second. Because for second ide it will be named as hdc and hdd,,,,,,,,,,didn't you ? /dev/hda2 3825 3848 192780 83 Linux What have been installed here ? Again thanks for this explaination

Thanks naraku9333 I am looking to recover the password through CD1 ....not through GRUB, I am familiar with GRUB. The reason I am doing that for learning.

I have got Linux FC4 , I forgot password for root. How can I recover it through rescue CD1 (I did it through GRUB), but I am looking to do it through CD1 I used FC4 CD1 to boot PC in rescue mode 1- F5 for recue mode 2- Type in : rescue mode----press Enter. 2- chroot /mnt/sysimage 3- Sh-2.95b # passwd root,,,,the output was : Passwd: system_u:system_r:anaconda_t is not authorized to change the password of root 4- I tried type in : passwd (with out word "root" see step 3) Where is my mistake ?
