i have two partitions and was using another distro alot and mint each on there own partition. i was impressed with the live cd so install the newest fullmontay version. been using linux for over 5 years and i can still mess up linux. apparently when i installed i somehow messed up grub so i cant get the option to boot into alot. i can still access my files and applications on sda1 where another distro was installed but cant figure out how to fix the grub menu. my pclinux os is on sda6. have a live cd what is the best way to fix. no idea. commands in kde are a little different that in gnome,xfce. tks

rburkartjo:
If the other OS uses grub2 as it's boot loader, add the following to your PCLinuxOS /boot/grub/menu.lst;
title Other OS
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/grub/core.img
When selected from the initial boot menu, this should chainload the other OS boot menu so you can choose it as the OS to boot.
