| 883462 | 2010-05-10 00:31:00 | Partner got this silly laptop given to her and I reformatted and installed Puppy but must have stuffed up on where Grub was to go. Now I get: Grub loading error file not found grub rescue> What is the command I can put in to get my relationship back on course ? |

| 883465 | 2010-05-10 01:16:00 | If the CD will no longer boot you will need to change the boot priority in BIOS setup. |

| 883466 | 2010-05-10 01:22:00 | It is possible you have overwritten the usually hidden recovery partition too. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 883467 | 2010-05-10 03:56:00 | I did use G parted to reformat the disk before the install of Puppy but now I can not reformat or anything. The screen I get is wanting a command after the> I am sure. I think I installed grub to partition "O" instead of "1" |

| 883468 | 2010-05-10 04:02:00 | Can't help with the command. Will a Windows disk boot? You could reformat with it and start again. |
