@item How to uninstall GRUB from my hard disk drive?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is no concept @dfn{uninstall} in boot loaders, because if you
|
||||||
|
@dfn{uninstall} a boot loader, an unbootable machine would simply
|
||||||
|
remain. So all you need to do is overwrite another boot loader you like
|
||||||
|
to your disk, that is, install the boot loader without uninstalling
|
||||||
|
GRUB.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, if you want to install the boot loader for Windows, just
|
||||||
|
run @code{FDISK /MBR} on Windows. If you want to install LILO@footnote{I
|
||||||
|
can't imagine why you want to do such a thing, though}, run
|
||||||
|
@code{/sbin/lilo} on GNU/Linux.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@item GRUB hangs when accessing my large IDE disk.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your disk is bigger than 32GB, probably updating your mainboard BIOS
|
||||||
|
will solve your problem. This bug is well-known and most vendors should
|
||||||
|
provide fixed versions. For example, if you have ASUS-P3BF, upgrading
|
||||||
|
the BIOS to V1007beta1 or later can fix it. Please ask your vendor, for
|
||||||
|
more information.
