Grub screen issue while booting......
Hi Gurus.....
My system is dual boot, having Win XP & Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Initially I use to boot linux by pressing "tab" key, which was showing me two OS listed in Grub. Since last few days, I'm not able to get that grub screen even if I press "tab" or any key while my system boots. Kindly help me out in this..
Your help is appreciated !!!!!
