[NTLUG:Discuss] Lost boot Loader

[Paul Ingendorf]

Come on Terry, who isn't put in a tight spot when asked to locate a blank
floppy.  Also, why would someone use a slackware disk to fix a fedora
install when that requires them to find something else to download when
everything they need is sitting right on their install cd?

If you have your boot disk, (that you should have created when
initially installing Core2, or just before installing MS Windows),
just boot into Linux with it and then issue command:
# grub-install
If you failed to create a boot disk, (you don't have one at all),
download a slackware boot disk image (bare.i should do), and use
rawrite.exe to burn it to floppy.  See:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-9.1/bootdisks/README.TXT

The images are located here:
