Why go to the trouble of getting a Rescue CD, when your Install media
can boot you into a "rescue system" which is fully compatible with your
installation?


Boot from your original install CD1 or DVD and choose "Rescue System"

Log in as root

Apologize! With "Rescue CD" i actually mean the orginal install media
which has a "Rescue System" option at boot menu.


Make two mount points (e.g. /mnt/hda1 and /mnt/hda3) using the mkdir
command

mount /dev/hda3 to /mnt/hda3 and /dev/hda1 to /mnt/hda1

cp -a /mnt/hda3/* /mnt/hda1

After the cp has finished, you will need to adjust the grub install to
look on hd(0,0) for its stage 2 rather than on hd(0,2) but I cannot
recall the precise steps for that.

That DID help! THANKS for the great hint!
