Now that I have your attention, this is just a small sympton of a bigger problem.
Following my last attempt to install Gentoo which borked my HDD, I have now recovered all my data and am starting from scratch with my HDD.
I decided to install Win 98 first, then because of the limitations on Primary partitions I decided to have Gentoo inbetween 98 and Win2k, so next I installed Gentoo, all works fine. So this morning I install Win2k, which completly rewris my MBR, and destroys the Grub boot menu, leaving a perfectly good Linux installation that I can't boot into.
So I think ok I'll boot off the gentoo cd, and reinstall and configure Grub. But once inside grub there is an error 15, which I managed to fix last time by doing an emerge grub, so I try it again and emerge is not found. Now before I came here I thought oh I'll reinstall all of Gentoo won't take long, nothing has been installed to it yet (X, Xoffice etc). But untarig the stage ball won;t work as it says I havea read only file system. I have gone through the manual from the beginning several times, leaving out fdisk becuase the partitons are already set up the way I want them, and the filesystem is still read only. I'm using ext3.

Have you seen this FAQ and the instructions it links to? If you have, what part are you getting stuck on?

Just for clarification, to anyone who comes across this, threads aren't 'closed' after a pbolem is solved. The forums are a resource, and not a 'trouble ticket' board.
That isn't supposed to sound 'harsh'; just in case it did.

Thats not what I meant by saying that the thread could be closed, I was merely signalling that my problem has been solved.
