Mending a broken install

Re: Mending a broken install

"Error unpacking Grub to (hd0,4). This is a fatal error."
Possibly this "Fatal error" was caused by hda4 being an extended partition which contains hda5, hda6, & hda7...?


No, that shouldn't be a problem at all. Note that (hd0,4) = hda5, so that should be perfect. . You can put GRUB anywhere (except in partition 4, the Extended). Occasionally, you see that GRUB error, but not very often; but it does happen--something just got corrupted or whatever. You are becoming an expert on installs! (I've done my fair share, too )

Do I sense the presence of a fellow IBM 360 FORTRAN IV guy, pushing tattered cards through the reader ...
