No GRUB And No X11

hi all,
i have 11.1 on my main machine and my laptop main dual boot with vista
but when i start now it tells me there is no os
but if i use my 10.3 dvd to boot into /dev/sda8 (my root) it works but there is no x cos of nvidia drivers… im using a live cd for this
is there any way i can repair either with 11.0/11.1 live cd or 10.3 dvd
or do i have to re-install?

You should be able to perform a repair with the CD or DVD you installed from.

nope i have a totaly ****** boot partition dont know what went wrong and ive re-installed

nothing would have worked it was missing system-critical files like the stage1 and 2 and my x11 was dead so i reinstalled

OK. Good luck. I’m downloading the kde4.3 packages and it’s a slow as molasses in Winter.

done!! i used to get really worked upo about reinstalling but its second nature now
