Mike, I'd try a bootdisk, Tom's comes to mind, http://www.toms.net/rb/ then use fdisk or parted to unhide the partition. Unless grub has changed its config from version I'm using, I think the file you want is /boot/grub/menu.lst, not /boot/grub/grub.conf. Alternatively, grub has a nice command editor built in, you might try a bootdisk with grub on it and use the editor to unhide the partition. Didn't see grub or parted listed on Tom's tho :-( Bob mcnixon at mchsi.com wrote: > I was fooling around with my grub.conf file and I > thought I'd try "hide(hd0,3)" which is of course my > extended partition, which includes /boot (in the 8th > partition) and /boot/grub/grub.conf > So when I rebooted I got a Grub Error 22 (No such > partition) in stage 2. > Is there some way for me to get into the grub shell and > easily undo this (with a unhide(hd0,3) command perhaps)? > > Anything else I might try to recover my extended > partition? > (I have the important stuff backed up if I need to start > from scratch). > > Thanks, > Mike Nixon
