hello fellow mageia users
erased by mistake my grub boot loader and when i tried to install a new one from the DVD which I have burned it failed to do so
1st i tried and run the update my system from the installer DVD and it had an error wich meant i could not get to the bootloader install screen
2nd I tried the recovery option on the menu however does not install the bootloader and it comes with a error wich i cant remember the wording at the moment
now the question is can i install a new bootloader to boot into my mageia linux install?
thank you for your time

thank you,
your link has led me to rescatux.iso and usb-image-writer.tar.gz for ubunto much easier to recover a system I say tutorial to follow soon!!!!!
the point is i installed rescatux into a usb drive and booted it from the F12 key at start up solved it without effort pitty the rescatux site is now down however i still have a copy of both files in my 10" notebook.
