Hi,
 
I have a dual-boot machine with Windows 2000 & RH Linux 9 installed. Everything was working fine until, I found that 3GB space was unallocated in the windows partition, so I formatted it as NTFS.
 
Then, when I restarted my machine, I was taken to the grub> prompt instead of the option to select the OS (Linux/DOS).
 
Then I managed to boot into Windows 2000 using the following set of commands.
8) Windows 2000 is in hda1.
 
 
grub > rootnoverify (hd0,0)
grub > chainloader +1
grub > boot
 
 
Kindly guide me by helping me boot into RH Linux 9 (UI based) from the grub prompt. As far as I remember, Linux is in hda2.
 
TIA,
Dips
