I installed Debain i86 with Grub on C:\ for dual boot.
(Windows XP pro, NFTS hard drive). The Debain itself was installed on an
external hard drive connected via USB2. This was probably not the right thing
to do but no use crying over spilt milk.
When I tried to boot up I got…
“GRUB loading stage 1.5
GRUB loading, please wait…
Error 21”
I have tried;
Two Our Fathers and seven Hail Mary’s for penance, (no
use);
Buying My wife chocolates, (its her PC and she is pissed);
Reinstall Debain saying no to grub, (same error message on
reboot);
Windows boot disc to get me to the recovery console but it doesn’t
want to accept my password as the “administrator password” and I’ve
tried every password I’ve ever used and can’t get in;
Knopixx bootable Linux which shows me the partitions but I
am told that one should not make a NFTS writeable and therefore this is
useless.
Does anyone know if there is a way to use Knoppix to fix the
MBR on NFTS? Anybody have any other ideas? Know a good divorce lawyer?
