Boot your slitaz-cdrom and start a terminal.
Become su.
# fdisk /dev/hda
p
This should reveal to you your two partitions and their format
I guess hda1 is ntfs and hda2 is ext3. (when you installed Slitaz on /dev/hda2 it is reformatted as ext3, remember?)
q
# mkdir /hd (this is temporary during this session of course)
# mount /dev/hda2 /hd (if your installation of Slitaz was correct, this should work).
# cd /hd
# ls

Now you should see the dirs of your installed Slitaz.
Now it must become bootable....
There are two versions of grub. There old grub, which is installed default, and grub2,
if you want grub2 (it is indeed the newest), there is a pkg in the repository.
This story is about good old grub vs. 0.97.

# cd /usr/sbin
# grub-install --root-directory=/hd /dev/hda
will do the trick of installing old grub on your /dev/hda disk
It worked for me.

Do a reboot and your hd should boot
As I have only Slitaz mounted on my own hd, I do not know if the Windows on your /dev/hda1 is installed in grub automatic but afterwards you can edit file /boot/grub/menu.lst
succes, linbuf

thanks for the prompt reply

>I guess hda1 is ntfs and hda2 is ext3
nope, it says both are ntfs :( this is weird

>Now you should see the dirs of your installed Slitaz.
yes, i see them

>will do the trick of installing old grub on your /dev/hda disk
i only had there "grub-install" (with the '-') and no it didnt work, same error
"The file /hd/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly"
i used the grub from the current slitaz-loram-cd ..it says its 0.97
(btw i have no network connection on that machine)

hi ..i had 1 hdd split to 2 ntfs partitions

linux or regular grub installed to a ntfs partition doesn't work.
Been there,done that,failed.I install linux to fat16 no problem.
I hear fat32 works but haven't tried it.
Don't modify with fdisk, it can be dangerous and disagree with what gparted indicates.
A good tool for checking your partition table is testdisk.

managed to install grub2
but when it starts theres just the grub promp ..so i try:

set root=(hd0,2)
chainloader +1
error: invalid signature

Try these commands:
1.

root@slitaz: grub-mkdevicemap

2.

root@slitaz: update-grub

booted the live cd
installed grub2
grub-mkdevicemap - OK
update-grub - not found :/

Surprise, /usr/sbin/update-grub was excluded from grub2.tazpkg \^_^/
This does the same thing:

root@slitaz: grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I pull all my information for grub2 from here:
http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p20/GRUB2%20Bash%20Commands.html#grub-mkconfig

grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /

i tried to create the grub.cfg manually:

set root=(hd0, 2)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=dev/hda2

but it says:
cannot allocate real mode pages

same problems.. waiting for hints ;-)

This is a grub2 bug.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/513528
Use grub 0.97 or lilo .

so the fact is that we cant install grub or grub2...perfect :-(

I ended up leaving grub2 on my machine, then adding grbu4dos to the XP partition, from which I can have access to my slitaz system ;)

Meaning I have been back using slitaz after 3 months being away.....
