Hi,

I have a dual-boot machine with Windows 2000 & RH Linux 9 installed.
Everything was working fine until, I found that 3GB space was
unallocated in the windows partition, so I formatted it as NTFS.

Then, when I restarted my machine, I was taken to the grub> prompt
instead of the option to select the OS (Linux/DOS).

Then I managed to boot into Windows 2000 using the following set of
commands.
Windows 2000 is in hda1.

grub > rootnoverify (hd0,0)
grub > chainloader +1
grub > boot

Kindly guide me by helping me boot into RH Linux 9 (UI based) from the
grub prompt. As far as I remember, Linux is in hda2.

TIA,
Dips
