Hi !
First, boot with the liveCD. Use the installation guide in the chroot section in a console (mounting disks, proc, chrooting). Once in your chrooted console, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and correct the path. Then reinstall grub in your MBR :
| Code: |
grub
grub> root (hd0,x)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
|
where x is the number of your boot partition (starting with 0). |

| Just so you know, GRUB does not need to be reinstalled every time the config file is changed. This is one of the many advantages GRUB has over LILO. |
