Hi neocronomican, You could boot the install DVD in rescue mode or from a livecd and use the "grub-install" script to install grub where you want it. Here is a link to a CentOS guide for re-installation of grub, the process is the same for SL: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/ReinstallGRUB Hope this helps,

okey i will try it latte Andrew, thankyou

UPDATE SUCCESS!!!

Hi Andrew, your tips to recover GRUB Success Perfectly,



So If you want to create Scientific Linux USB-Installer, you need :
1. Use at least flashdisk 8GB with FAT32
2. download ISO2USB (http://iso2usb.sourceforge.net/)
3. download all of Scientific Linux CD ISO (NOT DVD), there is 9 CD.


This is the process that I have done :
1. Create the SL-USB-installer use ISO2USB
(Diskimage = CD1, Addtional File = /folder/that/you/save/CD2-CD9/iso)

2. Reboot your system and choose first booting from SL-USB-Installer

3. Install you Scientific Linux.
- When there is some media installer question just answer sourceinstaller = Hardisk, then Partion Contain Image is (/dev/sdb1)


4. After Installation Done reboot your system (first boot still form SL-USB Installer)

5. Recovery GRUB
- after installation finish, you cant boot using your fresh Scientific Linux, there is a problem if you use SL USB-Installer as source, then by default GRUB always install in SL USB-Installer drive (/dev/sdb1)... So we need to fix your GRUB.
- to fix GRUB, you should boot from you SL-USB Installer again and then do Andrew tricks http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/ReinstallGRUB
- in my system, my fresh install Scientific Linux is on /dev/sda and SL-USB Installer on /dev/sdb... So to fix the GRUB in rescue terminal I write "grub-install /dev/sda1"
- after you done fix GRUB to /dev/sda, reboot your system and boot from your fresh Scientific Linux drive.

6. Reboot and Boot From Your Fresh Scientific Linux Drive


* If your GRUB stuck because GRUB cant find hd(1,0) then in GRUB MENU just edit your GRUB in from hd(1,0) --> hd(0,0)... and continue boot process.

** If this condition (*) happen, after you login to system as root, please edit /etc/grub.conf and change all of hd(1,0) to hd (0.0)...


In this test I use :
1. ISO2USB v 0.7
2. Scientific Linux 5.7 CD1-9 ISO X86_64
3. Kingstone 8GB Flashdisk
