ok, sorry for the newbie question, but here's what i did:
have 8.04 and win2k and winxp on existing hard drive
installed 8.04 onto a USB drive for experimenting
MISTAKENLY the last option during install setup is something about writing something to hd(0,0) or something like that. i left it checked!
now i can't boot back into my regular 8.04 that's on the hard drive, i get the usual Grub Error 21.
i THINK that the installer wrote over some info on the hard drive.
what do i do to fix it? if i use the livecd, i can see the grub menu file, and i think it LOOKS like i last had it, but i'm not 100% sure what to look for - or if that's even where the change was made.
help!
