RHEL4 Upt(2): Operating System Not Found ?

Hi,

My HP-Proliant Machine have faced abnormal shutdown due to a power failure.

after the event : "Operating System not found" appears & the system could not load operating system.

O/S: RHEL AS 4 update 2
Software Raid 1+0 were configured.

Facts Gathered:

All mount points are accessible through Linux Rescue Environment.

Try to re-install the grub, it failed with error "not a charactor device" { i have tried by giving all the available paths )

try to use fdisk, it failed with "Not a valid Partition table"

Any suggestions / recommendations will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Muhammad Ahmad

hi,

if your rescue cd still can access the disk - then its not broken.
check your BIOS boot setting.

cheers
