reboot.

this time read the screen.

this could be a "drive error" or any one of several other issues.

Experienced same issue with Vicibox, this is cause of having a previous Windows boot system.

Try installing Linux system first then install GoAutodial

i did several time but it won't let me through it sticks to grub> prompt right now i want to retrieve config files that GoAutoDial 2.1 CE containts within. do you have any idea how will it work.

i mean if i can attatch this drive with Any other windows system then is there a possibility to get those files back to ......

thanks but this is not the case for my PD.
i installed PD on a spare drive no other OS was on that drive. even i initializes this drive with Linux itself.

i am loosing hope to get this thing back in working condition. now all i am looking for now is to retrieve previous configuration files this will save much of my time if you can help me finding a windows software to browse a linux partition to extract files in windows.


Thanks in Anticipation...

Just reinstall grub.

Boot any linux live-cd

mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/
#where sdX1 is the drive and partition the system is installed on
mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
chroot /mnt /bin/bash
#now you are inside the installed system
grub-install /dev/sda
update-grub #if that exists in centos (if it is centos)
exit
reboot

if you still only want to save some config-files, just use any linux live-cd again, mount the drive and save the files to a usb-drive or something like that
