Maybe he doesn't mean win is gone. He deleted Linux and now Win is still there but Grub is in the way when he tries to boot. That is how I understood the problem. Try install/reinstall bootloader? ---------- Post updated at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:56 PM ---------- Yes you have to do that everytime probably becourse it doesn't look for boot at the right partition.

hello well everything seems to be fine. no /etc/hosts only contain the domain names aliases for ip addresses . Its like a cache for skipping the resolving of DNS servers. So there's nothing wrong with that.

Published (2009-12-11 03:41:00)
Sorry didn't make myself clear. The script would need modification to use "remsh" for each command and to take the computer name as a parameter. When we do this we also treat the local computer as a remote computer to keep the script consistent. For performance reasons it is preferable to execute the cleanup commands on the computer which owns the discs. The NFS solution is an option but may not be practical because the...

disabling remote login for root is a good thing and should be done. It should be done for the application id also if possible. Check the requirements on the software. It's possible it does require it. If it does I would ask the vendor to change it.

I don't have a solution - just a comment. A process can create a file with open(), then remove the file. The process at this point now has a file which does not show up in utilities like ls, for example. The file is removed from the filesystem when the last process that has a decriptor for the file closes the descriptor. This can make it hard to find the process behind the problem....

Answer: Use Remote Shell. The name of the command is not the same on every version of unix. Mostly it's called "remsh" (Remote Shell) but I have seen is called "rsh" (which nowadays the name for the Restricted Shell).

I am confused as to why you are copying and restoring MBRs. What are you trying to achieve doing this? You state that you have a laptop and a similar external hard disk. Then you start talking about a virtual machine with a 300Mb disk and a 1GB disk. Which is it? Actual hardware or a virtual environment?
