Hello everyone

When I try to install grub with grub-installer /dev/hda

it tells me that the file system is read only. I am running it from a live cd! so of course it's read-only!!! What exact command must I type so I can use the grub thing correctly....

I am just lost....

My goal is to boot between linux and windows xp everytime I start without using any floppy (I don't have a floppy drive.) Can someone help me achieve that goal.

(I tried reading the doucmentations on grub, the more I read the more confused i get)....

I thought Linux was gonna be easy
